Abstract The simulation of fluid flow over solid surfaces is important in many applications, for example, automotive applications where good visibility and the performance external sensors are essential. Multiphase CFD methods such as level set or coupled set–volume typically require a validated dynamic contact angle model function capillary number to accurately resolve near wall behaviour. Thi...
