A moving contact line as a rheometer for nanometric interfacial layers
How a liquid drop sits or moves depends on the physical and mechanical properties of the underlying substrate. This can be seen in the hysteresis of the contact angle made by a drop on a solid, which is known to originate from surface heterogeneities, and in the slowing of droplet motion on deformable solids. Here, we show how a moving contact line can be used to characterize a molecularly thin...
متن کاملMoving contact line of a volatile fluid.
Interfacial flows close to a moving contact line are inherently multiscale. The shape of the interface and the flow at meso- and macroscopic scales inherit an apparent interface slope and a regularization length, both named after Voinov, from the microscopic inner region. Here, we solve the inner problem associated with the contact line motion for a volatile fluid at equilibrium with its vapor....
متن کاملSolvability condition for the moving contact line.
We consider the motion of a contact line between a fluid, gas, and solid, as it occurs when a drop advances over a solid surface. This motion is controlled by a microscopic length scale near the contact line, such as a slip length or the precursor thickness. The capillary profile inside the drop is linked to the contact line through an intermediate region which is characterized by an interface ...
متن کاملA variational approach to moving contact line hydrodynamics
In immiscible two-phase flows, the contact line denotes the intersection of the fluid– fluid interface with the solid wall. When one fluid displaces the other, the contact line moves along the wall. A classical problem in continuum hydrodynamics is the incompatibility between the moving contact line and the no-slip boundary condition, as the latter leads to a non-integrable singularity. The rec...
متن کاملMoving contact line with balanced stress singularities
A difficulty in the classical hydrodynamic analysis of moving contact-line problems, associated with the no-slip wall boundary condition resulting in an unbalanced divergence of the viscous stresses, is reexamined with a smoothed, finite-width interface model. The analysis in the sharp-interface limit shows that the singularity of the viscous stress can be balanced by another singularity of the...
