Abstract
The coating of a solid with a liquid and the displacement of oil in a porous medium by water are processes that involve the motion of a contact line, the three-phase line common to three materials. In the above illustrations the contact line involves liquid, gas and solid and liquid, liquid and solid, respectively.
