Wetting flows are controlled by the contact line motion. We derive an equation that describes the slow time evolution of the triple solid-liquid-fluid contact line for an arbitrary distribution of defects on a solid surface. The capillary…
We study the wetting of a thin elastic filament floating on a fluid surface by a droplet of another, immiscible fluid. This quasi-2D experimental system is the lower-dimensional counterpart of the wetting and wrapping of a droplet by an…
This paper concerns the dynamics of two layers of compressible, barotropic, viscous fluid lying atop one another. The lower fluid is bounded below by a rigid bottom, and the upper fluid is bounded above by a trivial fluid of constant…
We consider the evolution of contact lines for viscous fluids in a two-dimensional open-top vessel. The domain is bounded above by a free moving boundary and otherwise by the solid wall of a vessel. The dynamics of the fluid are governed by…
We derive a Nitsche-based formulation for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems with contact. The approach is based on the work of Chouly and Hild [SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis. 2013;51(2):1295--1307] for contact problems in…
Liquid structure at solid-liquid interfaces is critical for many natural and engineered processes ranging from biological signal transduction to electrochemical energy conversion. Advanced experimental and computational methods have…
We consider the Cauchy problem for incompressible viscoelastic fluids in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d=2,3$). By introducing a new decomposition via Helmholtz's projections, we first provide an alternative proof on the existence of…
In this paper, we study the dynamics of a two-dimensional viscous fluid evolving through a porous medium or a Hele-Shaw cell, driven by gravity and surface tension. A key feature of this study is that the fluid is confined within a vessel…

In this paper, we present a novel interface-driven adaptive variational procedure using a fully Eulerian description of fluid-structure interaction. The proposed fully-Eulerian procedure involves a fixed background unstructured mesh on…
Wettability is the affinity of a liquid for a solid surface. For energetic reasons, macroscopic drops of liquid are nearly spherical away from interfaces with solids, and any local deformations due to molecular-scale surface interactions…
We consider the motion of a rigid body immersed in a two-dimensional viscous incompressible fluid with Navierslip-with-friction conditions at the solid boundary. The fluid-solid system occupies the whole plane. We provethe small-time exact…
Three-field Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) formulations for fluid and solid are applied and compared to the standard two field-one field formulation for fluid and solid, respectively. Both formulations are applied in a non linear setting…
We continue our study, started in arXiv:2212.00705, of (self-)collisions of viscoelastic solids in an inertial regime. We show existence of weak solutions with a corresponding contact force measure in the case of solids with only…
We consider a nonlinear, free boundary fluid-structure interaction model in a bounded domain. The viscous incompressible fluid interacts with a nonlinear elastic body on the common boundary via the velocity and stress matching conditions.…

In this paper we consider the motion of a rigid body in a viscous incompressible fluid when some Navier slip conditions are prescribed on the body's boundary. The whole system "viscous incompressible fluid + rigid body" is assumed to occupy…
