  "abstract": "It is common to relate the dynamic contact angle $\\theta_d$ to the relative speed between the substrate and the contact line; theory suggests $\\theta_d^3 \\propto U$. In fact, available physical models show that the dynamic angle involves speed logarithmically and in a model dependent manner. Experimental data consistent with this interpretation is cited.",
