The rapidly advancing contact line Part-1: Navier slip and microscale inertial effects
Yash Kulkarni, Tomas Fullana, Stephane Popinet +1
Curtain coating, in which a moving plate is coated by a falling liquid sheet, sustains advancing contact lines at large capillary numbers Ca ~ O(1), based on plate speed. Steady st…

A consistent treatment of dynamic contact angles in the sharp-interface framework with the generalized Navier boundary condition
Tomas Fullana, Yash Kulkarni, Mathis Fricke +4
In this work, we revisit the Generalized Navier Boundary condition (GNBC) introduced by Qian et al.\ in the sharp interface Volume-of-Fluid context. We replace the singular uncompe…

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…
