DESCRIPTION:Flows involving moving contact lines (MCLs) are widely found i
 n nature and industry. A major challenge in modelling MCLs is that the con
 ventional hydrodynamic theory combined with a no-slip boundary condition a
 t the wall leads to a non-integrable stress singularity at the contact lin
 e. In this seminar I will first review the major theoretical models and co
 mputational methods for moving contact lines\, and the main associated cha
 llenges. Then I will introduce a recent computational model for practical 
 simulations of moving contact lines. The model borrows the idea from the l
 arge eddy simulation in turbulence modeling\; it resolves the macroscale f
 lows only while model the effect of MCLs using modified hydrodynamic theor
 ies.\n\n
