We propose a numerical approach to regularize the contact line singularity appearing in the computation of viscous capillary-gravity waves with moving contact line in cylindrical containers. The linearized Navier-Stokes equations are complemented by a macroscopic Navier-like slip condition on the container side wall, with a depth-varying slip-length bridging a free-slip condition at the contact line to a no-slip condition further away from the meniscus. In accordance with suggestions from the literature, this characteristic penetration depth is chosen as the typical Stokes layer thickness pertaining to the eigenfrequency. Since the latter is unknown, the resulting nonlinear eigenvalue problem is first simplified using the inviscid eigenfrequency to estimate the Stokes layer thickness. The solution is then shown to provide consistent results when compared to the asymptotic approaches of the literature using the inviscid eigenmodes to estimate the different sources of dissipation with the exception of the neglected corner regions. This demonstrates that such numerical regularization scheme is suitable to retrieve physically meaningful results.

We propose a numerical approach to regularize the contact line singularity appearing in the computation of viscous capillary-gravity waves with moving contact line in cylindrical containers. The linearized Navier-Stokes equations are complemented by a macroscopic Navier-like slip condition on the container side wall, with a depth-varying slip-length bridging a free-slip condition at the contact line to a no-slip condition further away from the meniscus. In accordance with suggestions from the literature, this characteristic penetration depth is chosen as the typical Stokes layer thickness pertaining to the eigenfrequency. Since the latter is unknown, the resulting nonlinear eigenvalue problem is first simplified using the inviscid eigenfrequency to estimate the Stokes layer thickness. The solution is then shown to provide consistent results when compared to the asymptotic approaches of the literature using the inviscid eigenmodes to estimate the different sources of dissipation with the exception of the neglected corner regions. This demonstrates that such numerical regularization scheme is suitable to retrieve physically meaningful results.
