Experimental investigation of a moving contact line in a channel

Abstract

The shape of a moving air–liquid interface in a perfect wetting channel has been investigated over a wide range of capillary numbers. The thickness of the film wetting the channel walls, its shape and the dynamic contact angle are extracted using the total reflection of the laser beam on the wetting film–air interface.
