Stochastic relaxation of the contact line of a water drop on a solid substrate subjected to white noise vibration : roles of hysteresis

Relaxation of the three phase contact line of a sessile drop of water on a low energy surface is studied by subjecting it to a white noise vibration. While a spring force acts on the contact line whenever the contact angle deviates from its equilibrium value, it is opposed by hysteresis. The drop, t...
