Abstract

The vertical oscillation of a plate partially immersed in a non-wetting fluid produces a radiated wavetrain when the contact line between the plate and the free surface of the fluid cannot move freely along the plate. Realistic conditions to apply at the contact line when capillarity is not negligible include the dynamic variation of the contact angle and contact-angle hysteresis. Both of these effects are included in this paper and the amplitude of the radiated waves and the energy dissipation at the contact line are calculated.
