Forced wetting dynamics: A molecular dynamics study
We consider molecular dynamics simulations to study a polymerlike liquid meniscus between two parallel plates moving at constant opposite velocities. We investigate contact line motion versus the speed of the solid and the shapes of the liquid interface for several liquid/solid interaction amplitudes. The associated wetting dynamics are studied in detail.
