Mathematical modeling and simulation of flows and the interaction with a substrate using energetic variational methods

Particular care will be taken when considering the boundary conditions at the solid-fluid interface and the solid-fluid-gas contact line for the corresponding sharp interface models. The resulting mathematical model and its weak formulation are based on a gradient flow and are thereby naturally thermodynamically consistent. Numerical results and comparisons with experiments are presented for both solid and soft substrates.
