Wetting phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and technology. A solid substrate exposed to
the environment is almost invariably covered by a layer of fluid material. In this review, the …

We focus on the dynamical aspects of wetting phenomena on the nanoscale for which bulk
hydrodynamic equations become invalid. At the nanoscale, phenomena that are irrelevant …

Abstract Today, the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) system is the primary driver of
interannual variability in global climate, but its long-term behaviour is poorly understood …

Surfaces exhibiting complex topographies, such as those encountered in biology, give rise
to an enormously rich variety of interfacial morphologies of a liquid to which they are …

The shape, and chemical composition of solid surfaces can be controlled at a mesoscopic
scale. Exposing such structured substrates to a gas that is close to coexistence with its liquid …

In the past, perfect surfaces have been shown to yield local critical behaviour that differs
from bulk critical behaviour. On the other hand, surface defects, whether they are of natural …

Any solid surface is intrinsically rough on the microscopic scale. In this paper, we study the
effect of this roughness on the wetting properties of hydrophilic substrates. Macroscopic …

Wetting transitions and their closely related cousins of capillary condensation and filling are
found all around us. This article provides an overview of the key ideas and issues related to …

We show that condensation in a capped capillary slit is a continuous interfacial critical
phenomenon, related intimately to several other surface phase transitions. In three …

Abstract Using Monte Carlo simulations and self-consistent field (SCF) theory we study the
surface and interface properties of a coarse grained off-lattice model. In the simulations we …
