The dynamics of a moving wetting line: a review — •Joël De Coninck — University of Mons-Hainaut, 20 Place du Parc, 7000 Mons, Belgium

This talk will be devoted to a review of the recent results concerning the dynamics of wetting on different types of substrates: flat surfaces, fibres, pores ... Combining theoretical approach, experimental results and large scale molecular simulations, it will be shown that the dynamics of moving wetting line can be related to the equilibrium properties of the constituents, to the friction between the liquid and the solid surface, to the viscous bending of the meniscus, ... many different contributions to a mechanism which is still not completely elucidated despite its considerable importance in practice.
