Boundary Condition
shear rate at solid surface
- slip length, from nano- to micrometer
- Practically, no slip in macroscopic flows

6No-Slip Boundary Condition ?
- Apparent Violation seen from
- the moving/slipping contact line
- Infinite Energy Dissipation
- (unphysical singularity)

7Previous Ad-hoc models No-slip B.C. breaks down
- Nature of the true B.C. ?
(microscopic slipping mechanism) - If slip occurs within a length scale S in the
vicinity of the contact line, then what is the
magnitude of S ?

15Uncompensated Young Stressmissed in Navier B. C.
- Net force due to hydrodynamic deviation from
static force balance (Youngs equation) - NBC NOT capable of describing the motion of
contact line - Away from the CL, the GNBC implies NBC for single
phase flows.
16Continuum Hydrodynamic ModelingComponents
- Cahn-Hilliard free energy functional retains the
integrity of the interface (Ginzburg-Landau type) - Convection-diffusion equation (conserved
order parameter) - Navier - Stokes equation (momentum
transport) - Generalized Navier Boudary Condition

Results
- Most parameters determined from MD directly
- M and optimized in fitting the MD results
for one configuration - All subsequent comparisons are without adjustable
parameters.

with different macroscopic/external conditions
(wall speed, system size, flow type).
28Summary
- A need of the correct B.C. for moving CL.
- MD simulations for the deduction of BC.
- Local, continuum hydrodynamics formulated from
Cahn-Hilliard free energy, GNBC, plus general
considerations. - Material constants determined (measured) from
MD. - Comparisons between MD and continuum results show
the validity of GNBC.
29Large-Scale Simulations
- MD simulations are limited by size and velocity.
- Continuum hydrodynamic calculations can be
performed with adaptive mesh
(multi-scale computation by Xiao-Ping Wang). - Moving contact-line hydrodynamics is multi-scale
(interfacial thickness, slip length, and
external confinement length scale).
