THE PHYSICS OF THE CONTACT LINE REGION OF NON-ISOTHERMAL SYSTEMS
Peter Wayner · Multiphase Science and Technology · 2003
This paper presents a brief survey of the phenomena associated with the three phase contact region where a liquid-vapour interface intersects a solid substrate. The equilibrium and non-equilibrium cases are considered and the areas that need to be addressed are listed. Some significant roadblocks to progress are identified.
