The phenomena of wetting and spreading on solid surfaces and in porous media are being
studied for a wide range of applications. Two processes interact to cause drop motion over a …

Spreading of small liquid drops over thin dry porous layers is investigated from both
theoretical and experimental points of view. Drop motion over a porous layer is caused by …

The spreading of small liquid drops over thin and thick porous layers (dry or saturated with
the same liquid) has been investigated in the case of both complete wetting (silicone oils of …

The spread of a wetting liquid sessile droplet into porous medium is solved numerically
using the capillary network model with a microforce balance boundary condition at the …

The spreading of small silicone oil drops (capillary regime of spreading) over various dry
thick porous substrates (permeable in both normal and tangential directions) was …

The spreading, imbibition and solidification of a hot two-dimensional droplet on a cooler
porous substrate is studied. Lubrication theory and asymptotic reduction are used to derive a …

Numerical study of the dual effect of pores in liquid spreading over porous surface (flat and
spherical) whereby liquid movement is facilitated as well as restricted (visualised by Khanna …

A thermodynamic analysis of the penetration of a drop into a thin porous medium is
presented. It is shown that the thinness of the porous medium and the finite size of the drop …

Wetting and spreading phenomena on solid surfaces and in porous media are being
investigated for various applications including composite processing. Liquid drop spreading …

Spreading of small liquid drops over thin porous layers saturated with the same liquid is
investigated from both theoretical and experimental points of view. A theory is presented that …
