Moving contact lines are implemented in a volume-of-fluid scheme with piecewise linear interface construction. Interfacial tension is treated as a continuous body force, computed from numerical derivatives of a smoothed volume-of-fluid function. Two methods for implementing the contact angle conditi

For many coating flows, the profile thickness h, near the front of the coating film, is governed by a third-order ordinary differential equation of the form h" = f(h), for some given f(h). We consider here the case of dry wall coating which allows for slip in the vicinity of the moving contact-line.
## Abstract A Lagrangian finite element algorithm is described for solving twoβdimensional, timeβdependent free surface flows, in which moving contact lines are simulated by allowing local slip and the use of a βTanner Lawβ. The method is implemented using structured meshes, which are locally refin
