# 3D adaptive finite element method for a phase field model for the moving contact line problems

• In this paper, we propose an adaptive finite element method for simulating the moving contact line problems in three dimensions. The model that we used is the coupled Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes equations with the generalized Navier boundary condition(GNBC) proposed in [18]. In our algorithm, to improve the efficiency of the simulation, we use the residual type adaptive finite element algorithm. It is well known that the phase variable decays much faster away from the interface than the velocity variables. Therefore we use an adaptive strategy that will take into account of such difference. Numerical experiments show that our algorithm is both efficient and reliable.
