Microscopic Origin of Capillary Force Balance at Contact Line.

Physical Review Letters, 2020
We investigate the underlying mechanism of capillary force balance at the contact line. In particular, we offer a novel approach to describe and quantify the capillary force on the liquid in coexistence with its vapor phase, which is crucial in wetting ...

Contact lines with a contact angle

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013
AbstractThis work builds on the foundation laid by Benney & Timson (Stud. Appl. Maths, vol. 63, 1980, pp. 93–98), who examined the flow near a contact line and showed that, if the contact angle is $18{0}^{\circ } $, the usual contact-line singularity does not arise.

On the interpretation of contact angle for geomaterial wettability: Contact area versus three-phase contact line

, 2020
Several techniques are available to characterise the wettability of porous rocks wherein the contact angle measurement technique has gained popularity, especially in tight rocks.

Thermodynamically consistent modelling of two-phase flows with moving contact line and soluble surfactants

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019
Droplet dynamics on a solid substrate is significantly influenced by surfactants. It remains a challenging task to model and simulate the moving contact line dynamics with soluble surfactants.

Contact Angle and Local Wetting at Contact Line

Langmuir, 2012
This theoretical study was motivated by recent experiments and theoretical work that had suggested the dependence of the static contact angle on the local wetting at the triple-phase contact line. We revisit this topic because the static contact angle as a local wetting parameter is still not widely understood and clearly known.

Lattice Boltzmann method for contact-line motion of binary fluids with high density ratio.

Physical Review E, 2019
Within the phase-field framework, we present an accurate and robust lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for simulating contact-line motion of immiscible binary fluids on the solid substrate. The most striking advantage of this method lies in that it enables us

From Contact Line Structures to Wetting Dynamics.

Langmuir, 2019
An important reason for the century-long debate concerning wetting dynamics is the lack of decisive information about the contact line. The contact line cannot be treated as a geometric line but is rather a region with complex structures.

On Elastic Line Contact

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1972
Two-dimensional elastic half-space contact theory suffers from the defect that the surface displacement with respect to infinity becomes infinitely large when the total force carried by the half space is different from zero. Several authors removed this defect by altering the geometry so that the depth of the elastic body becomes finite. In the present

Contact Line and Contact Angle Dynamics in Superhydrophobic Channels

Langmuir, 2006
The dynamics of the wetting and movement of a three-phase contact line confined between two superhydrophobic surfaces were studied using a mean-field free-energy lattice Boltzmann model. Principle features of superhydrophobic surfaces, such as trapped vapor/air between rough microstructures, high contact angles, reduced contact angle hysteresis, and ...
