The dynamics of the triple gas-liquid-solid contact line is analysed for the case where the gas is the saturated vapour corresponding to the liquid, like in the vapour bubble in boiling. It is shown that even small superheating (with respect to the saturation temperature) causes evaporation of the adsorption liquid film and the true triple contact is established. It is shown that the hydrodynamic contact line singularity cannot be relaxed with the Navier slip condition under such circumstances. Augmented with the second derivative slip condition is proposed to be applied. For the partial wetting conditions, a non-stationary contact line problem where the contact line motion is caused by evaporation or condensation is treated in the lubrication approximation in the vicinity of the contact line. High heat fluxes in this region require the transient heat conduction inside the heater to be accounted for. Two 2D problems, those of drop retraction with no phase change and of drop evaporation are solved and analysed as illustrations of the proposed approach.
The relaxation dynamics of the contact angle between a viscous liquid and a smooth substrate is studied at the nanoscale. Through atomic force microscopy measurements of polystyrene nanostripes we monitor simultaneously the temporal evolution of the
We extend the Cahn-Landau-de Gennes mean field theory of binary mixtures to understand the wetting thermodynamics of a three phase system, that is in contact with an external surface which prefers one of the phases. We model the system using a phenom
We discuss an evaporation-induced wetting transition on superhydrophobic stripes, and show that depending on the elastic energy of the deformed contact line, which determines the value of an instantaneous effective contact angle, two different scenar
The effects of contact-line pinning are well-known in macroscopic systems, but are only just beginning to be explored at the microscale in colloidal suspensions. We use digital holography to capture the fast three-dimensional dynamics of micrometer-s
We analyze the dynamics of liquid filling in a thin, slightly inflated rectangular channel driven by capillary forces. We show that although the amount of liquid $m$ in the channel increases in time following the classical Lucas-Washburn law, $m prop
