Title: suggested word: dewet
Post by: a non-amos on February 26, 2007, 02:52:14 PM
Wetting and dewetting reltate to fluid mechanics.

When a fluid is on a substrate, it will wet or dewet the substrate.  If the fluid wets the substrate, the fluid covers the substrate with a uniform film.  If the fluid dewets the substrate, it gathers into droplets or strings of fluid around dry patches.

Can we add dewet to the dictionary?  Thanks!
