Controlling the motion of liquid drops in contact with a solid surface has broad technological
implications in many different areas ranging from textiles to microfluidics and heat …

The Cahn–Hilliard model is increasingly often being used in combination with the
incompressible Navier–Stokes equation to describe unsteady binary fluids in a variety of …

The initial spreading of glycerol and silicon oil droplets on smooth, corrugated, and
orthogonal surfaces is numerically investigated by an effective, sharp-interface modeling …

Dropwise condensation represents the upper limit of thermal transport efficiency for liquid-to-
vapor phase transition. A century of research has focused on promoting dropwise …

When a three-phase contact line moves along a solid surface, the contact angle no longer
corresponds to the static equilibrium angle but is larger when the liquid is advancing and …

We investigate the impact dynamics of droplets containing silica nanoparticles and/or poly
(ethylene oxide)(PEO) additives by using a high speed camera, and relate the impact …

We report experiments on the rapid contact-line motion present in the early stages of
capillary-driven spreading of drops on dry solid substrates. The spreading data fail to follow …

We report direct atomic force microscopy measurements of pinning-depinning dynamics of a
circular moving contact line (CL) over the rough surface of a micron-sized vertical hanging …

A hydrophilic liquid, such as water, forms hydrogen bonds with a hydrophilic substrate. The
strength and locality of the hydrogen bonding interactions prohibit slip of the liquid over the …

Liquid 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 …
