Domain-specific¶
- Wettability
- Lubrication — oil-film coverage and spreading on bearing and sliding surfaces. Coatings and adhesion — paint, primer, and protective films wetting the substrate they cover; anti-fouling surface design. Microfluidics — capillary-driven flow whose advance is set by the contact angle at channel walls. Inkjet printing — ink wetting the receiver sheet enough to transfer but not so much as to spread uncontrollably. Soldering and brazing — molten solder wetting the metal joint for a sound bond. Condensation heat exchangers — whether condensate sheets (filmwise) or beads (dropwise), governing heat-transfer efficiency. Biological and bio-inspired surfaces — the lotus leaf's Cassie-Baxter superhydrophobicity, insect cuticles, and the engineered self-cleaning and anti-icing surfaces that mimic them. Enhanced oil recovery — reservoir-rock wettability controlling how readily oil is displaced from pore surfaces
This sourceReports that reservoir wettability, set by interface conditions in the rock's pore space, has a dominant effect on interface movement and oil displacement, including in enhanced-recovery processes.

“Reservoir wettability is determined by complex interface boundary conditionsacting within the pore space of sedimentary rocks.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
