Comment on "Dynamic wetting by liquids of different viscosity," by T.D. Blake and Y.D. Shikhmurzaev.
We comment on a recent theory of dynamic wetting that is based directly upon a model for interface formation, introduced by Shikhmurzaev. We argue that the treatment of surface tension and its relaxation, inherent in the original model, is physically flawed.
