The motion of the three-phase contact line between two immiscible fluids and a solid surface
arises in a variety of wetting phenomena and technological applications. One challenge in …

After a brief overview of the 'moving contact-line problem'as it emerged and evolved as a
research topic, a 'litmus test'allowing one to assess adequacy of the mathematical models …

This work is devoted to the development of a new hybrid VOF-IBM method for the simulation
of freezing liquid films and freezing drops. The VOF and IBM methods are coupled with the …

The movement of the triple contact line plays a crucial role in many applications such as ink-
jet printing, liquid coating and drainage (imbibition) in porous media. To design accurate …

We develop a level-set method in the finite-element framework. The contact line singularity
is removed by the slip boundary condition proposed by Ren and E (2007)[6], which has two …

A friction model for hyper-elastic solid materials was proposed for the simulation of complex
shear impacts in a Eulerian framework. The interfacial status of multi-material interactions …

We investigate the dynamics of films of partially wetting liquids falling down a vertical plane
in the presence of air. We focus on the little-studied case where the film is not in contact with …

The immersed interface method (IIM) has been widely used in simulations of multiphase
flows with closed interfaces. We generalize IIM to simulate the moving contact line problems …

The local contact angle distribution within the pore space of a porous medium of mixed
wettability is identified by combining pore network simulations and an optimization method …

Fibres and fibrous materials are ubiquitous in nature and industry, and their interactions with
liquid droplets are often key for their use and functions. These structures can be employed …
