Relaxation of capillary-gravity waves due to contact line nonlinearity: A projection method
December 1, 2021
We present a physics-inspired mathematical model based on successive linear eigenmode projections to solve the relaxation of small-amplitude and two-dimensional viscous capillary-gravity waves with a phenomenological nonlinear contact line model. We show that each projection eventually induces a rapid loss of total energy in the liquid motion and contributes to its nonlinear damping.
