Abstract
We consider the impingement of a droplet onto a wall with high impact speed. To model this process we favour a diffuse-interface concept. Precisely, we suggest a compressible Navier--Stokes--Allen--Cahn model. Basic properties of the model are discussed. To cope with the fluid-wall interaction, we derive thermodynamically consistent boundary conditions that account for dynamic contact angles. We briefly discuss an discontinuous Galerkin scheme which approximates the energy dissipation of the system exactly and illustrate the results with a series of numerical simulations. Currently, these simulations are restricted to static contact angle boundary conditions.
