Flows involving moving contact lines (MCLs) are widely found in nature and industry. A major challenge in modelling MCLs is that the conventional hydrodynamic theory combined with a no-slip boundary condition at the wall 
leads to a non-integrable stress singularity at the contact line. In this seminar I will first review the major theoretical models and computational methods for moving contact lines, and the main associated challenges. Then I
will introduce a recent computational model for practical simulations of moving contact lines. The model borrows the idea from the large eddy simulation in turbulence modelling; it resolves the macroscale flows only while model the effect of MCLs using modified hydrodynamic theories. Finally,  I will briefly cover the recent extension of the simulation tool to non- isothermal systems and some new interesting results. 

个人简介：
Dr Sui has been a Lecturer in Modelling and Simulation in Engineering Systems at QMUL since 2012. He received his BSc from USTC in 2004, PhD from NUS in 2008, and had been postdoc at NUS and Imperial College London. Dr Sui’s research interests are mainly in the areas of complex flow systems (e.g., those involve suspending capsules and blood cells, multiphase flows, contact lines). He has published about 30 journal papers with over 350 citations. He was awarded a Marie Curie Research Fellowship in 2011, a Royal Society Research Grant in 2014 and co-authored an invited article for the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics in 2014.
