Abstract:
Contact lines (e.g, where coffee meets the coffee cup) appear generically between a free surface and a fixed boundary. Even though the steady contact line and contact angle was studied by people like Gauss and Young, even the modelling of dynamic contact lines has been an active research area in physics. In a joint research program with Ian Tice, global well-posedness and stability of contact lines is established for a recent viscous fluid model in 2D.
