Many researchers used lattice Boltzmann ShanChen model [8

10] to study contact line problems. This is primarily due to the

interaction-potential based approach. Also it is simple in implementing boundary conditions in complex porous
structures and
versatile in terms of handling fluid phases with different densities,
viscosities and wettabilities, as well as the capability of incorporating different equations of state. Zhang and Kwok
[31] studied the
dynamics of the wetting and movement of a three-phase contact
line confined between two super hydrophobic surfaces were studied using a mean-field free-energy lattice
Boltzmann model. Two
regimes were found for the flow velocity as a function of surface
roughness and can be related directly to the balance between driving force and flow resistance. Briant et al. [32]
have studied contact
line motion in both liquid gas systems and binary fluids [33] using
LB method. Hilpert [34] modelled for the dynamics of the trapping
forces and blob mobilization to understand the behavior of the
three-phase contact lines which could remain pinned to the heterogeneities of the solid surface or slide if sound
waves are applied.
Hilpert et al. [35] proposed the hypothesis that oil blobs trapped in
porous media also exhibits meniscus resonances like the liquid column trapped in a capillary tube. They putforth
the hypthesis that
the pinned contact lines are observed not only for oscillatory flows
but also for oscillatory vibrations of the solid surface. It is seen that
pinned contact lines occur in natural porous media due to their
surface roughnesss and chemical heterogeneities and hence it is
more likely to result in nonexistence of sliding contact lines. They
suggested that sliding contact lines can be seen only in case if the
