Abstract
A computer-simulation model is used to study the spread of a wetting fluid carried by a fixed number of mobile carriers released from the source. Effect of a driven field and the quenched impurity barriers on the motion of the front and the evolution of the interface width is investigated. Strength of the bias (B) and the concentration p of the impurities governs the power-law behavior for the front propagation and in interface growth with time with pinning at characteristic values of B and p.
