Capillary condensation in a pore-like geometry

Abstract

We study the influence of wetting on the capillary condensation for a simple fluid in a pore-like geometry, where the reference system is an infinitely long slit. The Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalization Group method has been extended to study a two-dimensional Ising model confined in an L x L geometry with equal surface fields. Our results have confirmed that in both geometries the coexistence line shift is governed by the same scaling powers, but their prefactors are different.
