A mathematical model and mesh-free numerical method for contact-line motion in lubrication theory.

Published in: Environmental fluid mechanics (Dordrecht, Netherlands : 2001) (2022)

We formulate a mathematical model to regularize the contact-line singularity for droplet spreading.The model can be solved using a fast, accurate mesh-free numerical method.Numerical simulations confirm that the model describes the quantitative aspects of droplet spreading well.
