Thin Films in Partial Wetting: Internal Selection of Contact-Line Dynamics

When a liquid touches a solid surface, it spreads to minimize the system’s energy. The classic thin-film model describes the spreading as an interplay between gravity, capillarity, and viscous forces, but it cannot see an end to this process as it does not account for the nonhydrodynamic liquid-soli...
