Abstract

We study numerically the motion of contact lines in the context of the “Wilhelmy plate" experiment: a vertical solid plate is withdrawn at constant velocity from a bath of liquid. We apply the contact line dissipation quasi-static model to the relaxation of an initially periodically deformed contact line. The obtained numerical data are compared to the experimental results [1] showing a good agreement.
