Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

The speed at which a liquid can move over a solid surface is strongly limited when a three-
phase contact line is present, separating wet from dry regions. When enforcing large contact …

Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

The spontaneous spreading of non-volatile liquid droplets on solid substrates poses a
classic problem in the context of wetting phenomena. It is well known that the spreading of a …

Dynamic wetting and electrowetting are explored using molecular dynamics simulations.
The propagation of the precursor film (PF) is fast and obeys the power law with respect to …

We study the impact and subsequent retraction dynamics of aqueous liquid droplets upon
high-speed impact on hydrophobic surfaces. Often a spectacular “rebound” of the droplet …

We have witnessed rapid and exciting development in electrowetting (EW) or electrowetting-
on-dielectric (EWOD) since 1990s. Owing to its great advantages such as easy operation …

Characteristic lengths at moving contact lines for a perfectly wetting fluid: the influence of speed
on the dynamic contact angl Page 1 J. Fluid Mech. (2004), vol. 505, pp. 309–321. c 2004 …

We provide a comprehensive review of theoretical and experimental studies of several
configurations involving liquid-gas interfaces in contact with heated solid substrates which …

We study the spreading of viscous drops on a solid substrate, taking into account the effects
of thermal fluctuations in the fluid momentum. A nonlinear stochastic lubrication equation is …
