Variational approach to droplet motion on uneven solid surfaces, including contact line dynamics and evaporation
Gyula I Tóth, David N Sibley, Agnes J Bokányi-Tóth +2
We show how dynamical equations for liquid films and drops on uneven surfaces, including contact line dynamics and evaporation/condensation effects, may be formulated as a variatio…

Coexisting multiphase and interfacial behaviour of ouzo
David N. Sibley, Benjamin D. Goddard, Fouzia F. Ouali +2
Multi-component liquid mixtures can be both complex and fascinating, with some systems being amenable to simple experimentation at home, giving valuable insight into fundamental as…

Hydrodynamic density-functional theory for the moving contact-line problem reveals fluid structure and emergence of a spatially distinct pattern
Andreas Nold, Benjamin D. Goddard, David N. Sibley +1
Understanding the nanoscale effects controlling the dynamics of a contact line -- defined as the line formed at the junction of two fluid phases and a solid -- has been a longstand…
