Dynamic contact angle of a liquid spreading on an unsaturated wettable porous substrate
Y. D. Shikhmurzaev, J. E. Sprittles
The spreading of an incompressible viscous liquid over an isotropic homogeneous unsaturated porous substrate is considered. It is shown that, unlike the dynamic wetting of an imper…
On the anomalous dynamics of capillary rise in porous media
Yulii Shikhmurzaev, James Sprittles
The anomalous dynamics of capillary rise in a porous medium discovered experimentally more than a decade ago (Delker et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 76 (1996) 2902) is described. The deve…
Wetting Front Dynamics in Isotropic Porous Media
Y. D. Shikhmurzaev, J. E. Sprittles
A new approach to the modelling of wetting fronts in porous media on the Darcy scale is developed, based on considering the types (modes) of motion the menisci go through on the po…
The Dynamics of Liquid Drops and their Interaction with Solids of Varying Wettabilites
J. E. Sprittles, Y. D. Shikhmurzaev
Microdrop impact and spreading phenomena are explored as an interface formation process using a recently developed computational framework. The accuracy of the results obtained fro…
Finite Element Simulation of Dynamic Wetting Flows as an Interface Formation Process
James Sprittles, Yulii Shikhmurzaev
A mathematically challenging model of dynamic wetting as a process of interface formation has been, for the first time, fully incorporated into a numerical code based on the finite…
