In immiscible two-phase flows, contact line denotes the intersection of the fluid-fluid interface with the solid wall. When one fluid displaces the other, the contact line moves along the wall. A classical problem in continuum hydrodynamics…
Fluid-structure interactions are commonly modeled using no-slip boundary conditions. However, small deviations from these conditions can significantly alter the dynamics of suspensions and particles, especially at the micro and nano scales.…

We employ micro-particle image velocimetry ($\mu$-PIV) to investigate laminar micro-flows in hydrophobic microstructured channels, in particular the slip length. These microchannels consist of longitudinal micro-grooves, which can trap air…
When a droplet spreads on a solid substrate, it is unclear what are the correct boundary conditions to impose at the moving contact line. The classical no-slip condition is generally acknowledged to lead to a non-integrable singularity at…
This paper focuses on the so-called Weighted Inertia-Dissipation-Energy (WIDE) variational approach for the approximation of unsteady Leray-Hopf solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes system. Initiated in [56], this variational…
Interfacial boundary conditions determined from empirical or ad-hoc models remain the standard approach to model fluid flows over porous media, even in situations where the topology of the porous medium is known. We propose a non-empirical…
