Comment on "Dynamic Wetting by liquids of different viscosity", by T.D. Blake and Y.D. Shikhmurzaev

arXiv:cond-mat/0312695

Abstract

We comment on a recent theory of dynamic wetting, that is based directly upon a model for interface formation, introduced by Shikhmurzaev. We argue that the treatment of surface tension and its relaxation, inherent in the original model, is physically flawed.
