Contact line (in) stability

Main objectives are to develop knowledge on

Wetting/dewetting contact line behavior
Physics velocity limit of entrainment-free contact line motion on hydrophobic surfaces

Interaction between fluid layers/droplets on the wafer surface

The research program consists of a number of activities related to a better understanding of contact line dynamics. Experimental methods as well as analytical models and numerical (CFD) models need to be developed for this fundamental multi-scale physics problem. Contact line dynamics has been studied mostly for ideal fluids in simple experimental set-up, while in this immersion system water, a complex non-ideal fluid is used and the contact line is accelerated at very high rates (> 30 m/s2) to high velocities (> 1 m/s). This complex environment requires the development of new methods for experimental and theoretical analysis of flow phenomena such as optical microscopy and particle imaging velocimetry.
