In many macroscopic dynamic wetting problems, it is assumed that the macroscopic interface is quasistatic, and the dissipation appears only in the region close to the contact line. When approaching the moving contact line, a microscopic…
In fluid dynamics, an interface splash singularity occurs when a locally smooth interface self-intersects in finite time. We prove that for $d$-dimensional flows, $d=2$ or $3$, the free-surface of a viscous water wave, modeled by the…
