Abstract:Contact lines (e.g. the wine edge at the wall of a glass) appear in many fluid problems. Yet there has been rather few PDE study of such problem due to corner singularity of boundary. In a joint work with Ian Tice, we are able to establish  asymptotic stability of contact lines for Stokes flows.
