On the geometry of rate-independent drolpet motion
- Inwon Kim (UCLA)
Abstract
We consider a toy model of rate-independent droplet motion on a surface with contact angle hysteresis, based on the one-phase Bernoulli free boundary problem. Taking advantage of two notions of weak solutions, energy- based and comparison-principle-based, we study the dynamic contact angle of moving contact lines and the geometry of de-pinning.
