The question of the effect of surface heterogeneities on the evaporation of liquid droplets
from solid surfaces is addressed through nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations …

Wetting is a prerequisite for coating a uniform layer of liquid onto a solid. Wetting failure and
air entrainment set the ultimate limit to coating speed. It is well known in the coating art that …

Generation of a dynamic contact angle in the course of wetting is a fundamental
phenomenon of nature. Dynamic wetting processes have a direct impact on flows at the …

Hypothesis Surface nanodroplets have important technological applications. Previous
experiments and simulations have shown that their contact angle deviates from Young's …

The effect of the three-phase contact-line curvature on the evaporation mechanism of
nanoscopic droplets from smooth and chemically homogenous substrates is studied by …

We present a new methodology to estimate the contact angles of sessile drops from
molecular simulations by using the Gaussian convolution method of Willard and Chandler [J …

The molecular structure of moving contact lines (MCLs) and the emergence of a
corresponding macroscopic dissipation have made the MCL a paradigm of fluid dynamics …

We systematically investigate the equilibrium shapes of droplets deposited on a set of
chemically striped patterned surfaces by using an Allen? Cahn-type phase-field model …

When a droplet is placed on a solid surface, the pinning force on the contact line is the key
factor determining the dynamics of liquid droplet. As the apparent contact line position is not …

The fluid-mechanics community is currently divided in assessing the boundaries of
applicability of the macroscopic approach to fluid mechanical problems. Can the dynamics …
