Abstract
Surface tension and wetting are dominating physical effects in micro and nanoscale flows. We present an efficient and reliable model of surface tension and equilibrium contact angles in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics for free-surface problems. We demonstrate its robustness and accuracy by simulating several notoriously difficult three-dimensional free surface flow problems driven by interfacial tension.
