Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: A dynamic meniscus affects viscous dissipation of oscillating contact lines. A theoretical proposal, marrying viscous sloshing dynamics and a realistic contact line model including contact angle hysteresis, finds that both the wave damping rate and frequency increase at small amplitude.
