SUMMARY:On contact-line dynamics with mass transfer - Oliver\, J (Universi

DESCRIPTION:We investigate the effect of mass transfer on the evolution of
  a thin (two-dimensional) partially wetting drop. While the effects of vis
 cous dissipation\, capillarity\, slip and uniform mass transfer are taken 
 into account\, other effects\, such as gravity\, surface tension gradients
 \, vapour transport and heat transport\, are neglected in favour of mathem
 atical tractability. Our matched-asymptotic analysis reveals that the lead
 ing-order outer formulation and contact-line law that is selected in the s
 mall-slip limit depends delicately on both the sign and size of the mass t
 ransfer flux\, leading in particular to novel generalisations of Tanner's 
 law. We analyse the resulting evolution of the drop and report good agreem
 ent with numerical simulations.\n\nCo-Authors:\nMatthew Saxton (University
  of Oxford)\, Jonathan Whiteley (University of Oxford)\, Dominic Vella (Un
 iversity of Oxford)\; John King (University of Nottingham).\n
