High temperature wetting: Insights from atomistic simulations

E. B. Webb, J. J. Hoyt, G. S. Grest, Current Opinion in Solid State & Materials Science, 9, 174-80 (2005).

Results from large-scale atomic simulations of high temperature wetting and spreading have demonstrated that molecular dynamics modeling is well suited to elucidate fundamental details of reactive wetting. This report reviews recent literature and provides an example of how thermodynamic calculations complement wetting simulations to permit a careful examination of the role of reaction free energy in determining dissolutive wetting kinetics.
