Sharp-interface limit of the Cahn–Hilliard model for moving contact lines (2010, background): “More in-depth discussion of the outstanding issues can be found in recent reviews (Pismen 2002; Blake 2006; Qian, Wang & Sheng 2006b).”

Contact angle of micro- and nanoparticles at fluid interfaces (2014, background): “negligible role in contrast to the macroscopic wetting where the opposite behaviour is true [67].”
Modelling two-phase flow in porous media at the pore scale using the volume-of-fluid method (2012, background): “Therefore, the dynamics of the contact line can be predicted only in simulation methods where the heterogeneities are resolved down to the molecular scale [42].”
Moving Contact Lines: Scales, Regimes, and Dynamical Transitions (2013, background): “However, MKT provides a phenomenological description that treats contact line motion as a single mode of propagation, characterized by a length scale ξ and by an energy barrier for the activated process E∗ (Blake 2006).”
