The contact angle that a liquid drop makes on a soft substrate does not obey the classical Youngs relation, since the solid is deformed elastically by the action of the capillary forces. The finite elasticity of the solid also renders the contact angles different from that predicted by Neumanns law, which applies when the drop is floating on another liquid. Here we derive an elasto-capillary model for contact angles on a soft solid, by coupling a mean-field model for the molecular interactions to elasticity. We demonstrate that the limit of vanishing elastic modulus yields Neumanns law or a slight variation thereof, depending on the force transmission in the solid surface layer. The change in contact angle from the rigid limit (Young) to the soft limit (Neumann) appears when the length scale defined by the ratio of surface tension to elastic modulus $gamma/E$ reaches a few molecular sizes.

The spreading of liquid drops on soft substrates is extremely slow, owing to strong viscoelastic dissipation inside the solid. A detailed understanding of the spreading dynamics has remained elusive, partly owing to the difficulty in quantifying the
strong viscoelastic deformations below the contact line that determine the shape of moving wetting ridges. Here we present direct experimental visualisations of the dynamic wetting ridge, complemented with measurements of the liquid contact angle. It is observed that the wetting ridge exhibits a rotation that follows exactly the dynamic liquid contact angle -- as was previously hypothesized [Karpitschka emph{et al.} Nature Communications textbf{6}, 7891 (2015)]. This experimentally proves that, despite the contact line motion, the wetting ridge is still governed by Neumanns law. Furthermore, our experiments suggest that moving contact lines lead to a variable surface tension of the substrate. We therefore set up a new theory that incorporates the influence of surface strain, for the first time including the so-called Shuttleworth effect into the dynamical theory for soft wetting. It includes a detailed analysis of the boundary conditions at the contact line, complemented by a dissipation analysis, which shows, again, the validity of Neumanns balance.
We study experimentally the collision between a sphere falling through a viscous fluid, and a solid plate below. It is known that there is a well-defined threshold Stokes number above which the sphere rebounds from such a collision. Our experiment te
sts for direct contact between the colliding bodies, and contrary to prior theoretical predictions, shows that solid-on-solid contact occurs even for Stokes numbers just above the threshold for rebounding. The dissipation is fluid-dominated, though details of the contact mechanics depend on the surface and bulk properties of the solids. Our experiments and a model calculation indicate that mechanical contact between the two colliding objects is generic and will occur for any realistic surface roughness.
How to determine accurately and efficiently the aerodynamic forces of the aircraft in high-speed flow is one of great challenges in modern aerodynamics. In this Letter we propose a new similarity law for steady transonic-supersonic flow over thin bod
ies. The new similarity law is based on the local Mach number frozen principle. It depends on both the specific heat ratio and the free-stream Mach number. The new similarity law enables one to determine the lift and drag coefficients of the aircraft from that of a reference state which is more reachable. The validity of the new similarity law has been confirmed by the excellent agreement with numerical simulations of both two-dimensional airfoil flows and three-dimensional wing flows.
Practical application of Gauss law in acoustics is not a very well known method. However, any inverse square law behavior can be formulated in the way similar to Gauss law, which allows us to extend the same principle to sound waves propagation. We s
how in this paper how the acoustic power of sound source can be related to the sound intensity flow through a given surface by means of the Gauss law. Several different sound-source shapes, important in practical applications, are analyzed by means of the Gauss law. A suitable choice of the Gaussian surface allows us to obtain the simple and straightforward method for calculating the sound intensity distribution in space.
We study surface nanobubbles using molecular dynamics simulation of ternary (gas, liquid, solid) systems of Lennard-Jones fluids. They form for sufficiently low gas solubility in the liquid, i.e., for large relative gas concentration. For strong enou
gh gas-solid attraction, the surface nanobubble is sitting on a gas layer, which forms in between the liquid and the solid. This gas layer is the reason for the universality of the contact angle, which we calculate from the microscopic parameters. Under the present equilibrium conditions the nanobubbles dissolve within less of a microsecond, consistent with the view that the experimentally found nanobubbles are stabilized by a nonequilibrium mechanism.
