Wetting on silicone surfaces [PDF]
Soft MatterIn this review, we discuss the structural properties of the three most common types of silicone surfaces and their static and dynamic wetting properties. We review experimental and theoretical approaches for soft wetting.

A thin rivulet of perfectly wetting fluid subject to a longitudinal surface shear stress [PDF]
, 2008 The lubrication approximation is used to obtain a complete description of the steady unidirectional flow of a thin rivulet of perfectly wetting fluid on an inclined substrate subject to a prescribed uniform longitudinal surface shear stress.

Modelling and analysis of soil wetting patterns under surfrace drip irrigation [PDF]
, 2011 Knowledge of the horizontal and vertical distances by which water spreads in soils under a point source is essential to the design of cost effective and efficient surface drip irrigation systems.

Wetting morphologies at microstructured surfaces [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 The wetting of microstructured surfaces is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Even relatively simple surface topographies such as grooves with rectangular cross section exhibit a large variety of different wetting morphologies as observed by atomic force microscopy.

Wetting of a solid surface by active matter [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2021 Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of an active lattice gas model indicate that the wetting film diverges in the whole range of activities considered, i.e. that the solid surface is always wet at the MIPS phase boundary.
