Solid adsorption: the missing mechanism for surfactant contact lines -- a phase-field approach
Parvathy K. Kannan, Kazi T. Iqbal, Diego DÃaz +5
We develop a thermodynamically consistent phase-field model for soluble surfactants in two-phase flows, incorporating both interfacial and solid surface adsorption. The model is de…

Cahn-Hilliard Phase Field modelling captures nanoscale contact line dynamics on high-friction surfaces
Michele Pellegrino, Parvathy K. Kannan, Gustav Amberg +3
Incorporating molecular-scale effects in the description of contact line motion is essential for accurately capturing all sources of energy dissipation in wetting dynamics. This ho…

Mass diffusion and bending in dynamic wetting by phase-field and sharp-interface models
Tomas Fullana, Stéphane Zaleski, Gustav Amberg
Dynamic wetting poses a well-known challenge in classical sharp-interface formulation as the no-slip wall condition leads to a contact line singularity that is typically regularize…
