Surface structure determines dynamic wetting. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2015 AbstractLiquid wetting of a surface is omnipresent in nature and the advance of micro-fabrication and assembly techniques in recent years offers increasing ability to control this phenomenon. Here, we identify how surface roughness influences the initial dynamic spreading of a partially wetting droplet by studying the spreading on a solid substrate ...

Physical model test on the effect of geosynthetic reinforcement on embankment constructed with modified lateritic soil under wetting-vibration [PDF]
Scientific ReportsGeosynthetic reinforcement has been widely used in the construction of embankment. However, the effect of reinforcement on embankment constructed with modified lateritic soil under wetting-vibration is still understudied.

Dynamic wetting with two competing adsorbates [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2009 We study the dynamic properties of a model for wetting with two competing adsorbates on a planar substrate. The two species of particles have identical properties and repel each other.

Dynamic wettability alteration in immiscible two-phase flow in porous media: Effect on transport properties and critical slowing down [PDF]
Frontiers in Physics, 2015 The change in contact angles due to the injection of low salinity water or any other wettability altering agent in an oil-rich porous medium is modeled by a network model of disordered pores transporting two immiscible fluids.

Wetting Dynamics in an Angular Channel [PDF]
Langmuir, 2021 We analyze the dynamics of liquid filling in a thin, slightly inflated rectangular channel driven by capillary forces. We show that although the amount of liquid $m$ in the channel increases in time following the classical Lucas-Washburn law, $m \propto t^{1/2}$, the prefactor is very sensitive to the deformation of the channel because the filling ...

Dynamic pore wetting and its effects on porous particle flotation: A review
International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2022 The dynamic pore wetting plays an important role in the flotation of porous particle, such as coal, fly ash, gasification slag, etc. Water phase get into the pores and crevices on the surface and inside of the particles, creating a dense water layer that
