We consider a two-dimensional model of a porous medium where circular grains are uniformly distributed in a squared container. We assume that such medium is partially filled with water and that the stationary interface separating the water…

In this paper we study the morphology of drops formed on partially wetting substrates, whose footprint is not circular. This type of drops is a consequence of the breakup processes occurring in thin films when anisotropic contact line…

The effect of thermal fluctuations near a contact line of a liquid interface partially wetting an impenetrable substrate is studied analytically and numerically. Promoting both the interface profile and the contact line position to random…

We consider the spreading of a thin two-dimensional droplet on a planar substrate as a prototype system to compare the contemporary model for contact line motion based on interface formation of Shikhmurzaev [Int. J. Multiphas. Flow 19, 589…

Interfaces between two fluids are ubiquitous and of special importance for industrial applications, e.g., stabilisation of emulsions. The dynamics of fluid-fluid interfaces is difficult to study because these interfaces are usually…

When a drop laden with solid particles and suspended in a liquid passes through a narrow pore, its interface experiences strong shear and elongation, and the raft of particles may accumulate toward the back of the drop. Using well…

We present a mesoscopic model, based on the Boltzmann Equation, for the interaction between a solid wall and a non-ideal fluid. We present an analytic derivation of the contact angle in terms of the surface tension between the liquid-gas,…

We prove the existence of a family of volume-constrained critical points of the liquid drop functional, which are cylindrically but not spherically symmetric. This family bifurcates from the ball and exchanges stability with it.

We numerically investigate the rheological response of a non-coalescing multiple emulsion under a symmetric shear flow. We find that the dynamics significantly depends on the magnitude of the shear rate and on the number of the encapsulated…

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a finite number of spherical bubbles in a compressible fluid within a bounded open domain of R 3 . The fluid-bubble interaction is described by a system of nonlinear partial differential equations…

We consider a liquid drop placed on a smooth homogeneous solid substrate as it spreads from rest to its eventual equilibrium state. The problem is studied numerically in the framework of a model where the contact angle formed by the drop's…

The spreading of a cap-shaped spherical droplet of non-Newtonian power-law liquids, both shear-thinning and shear-thinning liquids, that completely wet a spherical substrate is theoretically investigated in the capillary-controlled…

It is established that roughness and chemistry play a crucial role in the wetting properties of a substrate. Yet, few studies have analyzed systematically the effect of the non-uniformity in the distribution of texture and surface tension…

We consider the free boundary problem for a 3-dimensional, incompressible, irrotational liquid drop of nearly spherical shape with capillarity. We study the problem from the beginning, extending some classical results from the flat case…

We present a theoretical study of the statics and dynamics of a partially wetting liquid droplet, of equilibrium contact angle $\theta_{\rm e}$, confined in a solid wedge geometry of opening angle $\beta$. We focus on a mostly non-wetting…

This series of papers is devoted to the formulation and the approximation of coupling problems for nonlinear hyperbolic equations. The coupling across an interface in the physical space is formulated in term of an augmented system of…

We consider a classical (capillary) model for a one-phase liquid in equilibrium. The liquid (e.g. water) is subject to a volume constraint, it does not mix with the surrounding vapour (e.g. air), it may come into contact with solid supports…

Spreading of different types of fluid on substrates under an impressed force is an interesting problem. Here we study spreading of four fluids, having different hydrophilicity and viscosity on two substrates - glass and perspex, under an…

We study the Muskat problem on the half-plane, which models motion of an interface between two fluids of distinct densities (e.g., oil and water) in a porous medium (e.g., an aquifer) that sits atop an impermeable layer (e.g., bedrock).…

We study spreading dynamics of nematic liquid crystal droplets within the framework of the long-wave approximation. A fourth order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation governing the free surface evolution is derived. The…
