Numerical Simulation of a Channel Inflow with Moving Contact Lines

  • The flow of a liquid into an empty channel is simulated. The simulation is based on a recently published model for general fluid/liquid/solid systems which eliminates the shear stress singularity at the moving contact line between the liquid/fluid interface and the solid. This model is carefully analyzed for low Reynolds and Capillary numbers, adapted to the channel inflow problem, and implemented. Very convincing numerical results are presented.
