Abstract: The theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and an approach developed by Bedeaux, Albano and Mazur are applied to a system of two immiscible one-component fluids and the interface between them in order to derive a model suitable for the moving contact-line problem analysis. The mass densities of both components at the interface are allowed to be singular in a thermodynamic sense. Some assumptions concerning the interface structure make it possible to obtain a simple mathematical model containing few phenomenological coefficients with clear physical meanings. The model allows to describe the “splitting” of an interface at the moving contact line.
