To clarify the role of wetting properties on the damping of liquid oscillations, we studied the decay of oscillations of liquid columns in a U-shaped tube with controlled surface conditions. In the presence of sliding triple lines, oscillations are strongly and nonlinearly damped, with a finite-time arrest and a dependence on initial amplitude. We reveal that contact angle hysteresis explains and quantifies this solidlike friction.
