Moving contact-lines (CLs) dissipate. Sessile droplets, mechanically driven into resonance by plane-normal forcing of the contacting substrate, can exhibit oscillatory CL motions with CL losses dominating bulk dissipation. Conventional practice measures CL dissipation based on the rate of mechanical work of the unbalanced Young's force at the CL. Typical approaches require measurements local to the CL and assumptions about the "equilibrium" contact angle (CA). This paper demonstrates how to use scanning of forcing frequency to characterize CL dissipation without any dependence on measurements from the vicinity of the CL. The results are of immediate relevance to an International Space Station (ISS) experiment and of longer-term relevance to Earth-based wettability applications. Experiments reported here use various concentrations of a water-glycerol mixture on a low-hysteresis non-wetting substrate.
