The present model indicated that a new dimensionless characteristic parameter, 2, attects the dynamic wetting process and associated dynamic contact angle as well. However, the previous model suggested that the dynamic contact angle is dependent'on the capillary number and static contact angle only. An experimental investigation was conducted to measure the dynamic wetting behavior of silicon oil moving over glass, aluminum and stainless steel surfaces. It concluded that when the value of 2 was selected as 0.07, 0.16 and 0.35 for glass, aluminum and stainless steel, respectively, the experimental results were in good accordance with the prediction of the model. Furthermore, the comparison of the model with Strom's experimental data showed that 2 is independent on the species of liquids. Apparently, 2 should be interpreted as the effect of the solid surface properties on the dynamic wetting process.Meanwhile, it is found in the present experiment that the Hoffman-Voinov-Tanner law, which is valid at very low capillary number (Ca 〈〈 1 or 80〈 10°) recommend by Cazabat, still holds for higher contact angles, even up to 70°-80°. This is explained by (he present model very well.展开更多
