Four results associated with the diffuse-interface model (DIM) for contact lines are reported in this paper. First, a boundary condition is derived, which states that the fluid near a solid wall must have a certain density $\rho_{0}$…
We define a generalized fixed contact angle condition for $n$-varifold and establish a boundary monotonicity formula. The results are natural generalizations of those for the Neumann boundary condition considered by Gr\"uter-Jost.
The behaviour of a solid-liquid-gas system near the three-phase contact line is considered using a diffuse-interface model with no-slip at the solid and where the fluid phase is specified by a continuous density field. Relaxation of the…
In theoretical analyses of the moving contact line, an infinite force along the solid wall has been reported based off the non-integrable stress along a single interface. In this investigation we demonstrate that the stress singularity is…
A solid-liquid-gas moving contact line is considered through a diffuse-interface model with the classical boundary condition of no-slip at the solid surface. Examination of the asymptotic behaviour as the contact line is approached shows…

The boundary conditions at the deformable interface between two contacting fluids are derived for the general case of the large-amplitude perturbations. The interface is modeled as perturbed free boundary that evolves in time, and the…

This work addresses the mean-field limit of inertial particle systems with singular interactions in a perturbative regime around Gibbs equilibrium. We prove that small fluctuations around equilibrium are asymptotically governed by the…
The article examines a boundary-value problem in a domain consisting of perforated and imperforate regions, with Neumann conditions prescribed at the boundaries of the perforations. Assuming the porous medium has symmetric, periodic…
The complicated dynamics of the contact line of a moving droplet on a solid substrate often hamper the efficient modeling of microfluidic systems. In particular, the selection of the effective boundary conditions, specifying the contact…
