Asymptotic reductions of the diffuse-interface model with applications to contact lines in fluids
Date
2020
Abstract
The diffuse-interface model (DIM) is a tool for studying inter facial dynamics. In particular,it is used for modeling contact lines,i.e.,curves where a liquid, gas, and solid are in simultaneous contact. As well as all other models of contact lines, the DIM implies an additional assumption:that the flow near the liquid-gas interface is isothermal.In this work, this assumption is checked for the four fluids for which all common models of contact lines fail. It is shown that, for two of these fluids (including water), the assumption of isothermality does not hold.
