Probing with a laser sheet the contact angle distribution along a contact line.
An optical method for probing contact angle distribution along contact lines of any shape using a laser sheet is proposed. This method is applied to a dry patch formed inside a film flowing along an inclined plane, both liquid and solid being transparent. Falling normally to the plane, a laser sheet cuts the contact line and is moved along this line. Distortions of the sheet trace observed on a...
متن کاملThe Space of Minimal Annuli Bounded by an Extremal Pair of Planar Curves
In 1956 Shiffman [14] proved that every minimally immersed annulus in 3 bounded by convex curves in parallel planes is embedded. He proved this theorem by showing that the minimal annulus was foliated by convex curves in parallel planes. We are able to prove a related embeddedness theorem for extremal convex planar curves. Recall that a subset of 3 is extremal if it is contained on the boundary...

In this paper, we will report a recent study about moduli spaces of branched and complete minimal surfaces in Euclidean space of genus one with two ends and total curvature −4π.
متن کاملMesoscopic modeling of a two-phase flow in the presence of boundaries: The contact angle.
We present a mesoscopic model, based on the Boltzmann equation, for the interaction between a solid wall and a nonideal fluid. We present an analytic derivation of the contact angle in terms of the surface tension between the liquid-gas, the liquid-solid, and the gas-solid phases. We study the dependency of the contact angle on the two free parameters of the model, which determine the interacti...
متن کاملMean Curvature Motion of Graphs with Constant Contact Angle at a Free Boundary
We consider the motion by mean curvature of an n-dimensional graph over a time-dependent domain in Rn, intersecting Rn at a constant angle. In the general case, we prove local existence for the corresponding quasilinear parabolic equation with a free boundary, and derive a continuation criterion based on the second fundamental form. If the initial graph is concave, we show this is preserved, an...
