Two Parameters for Three Dimensional Wetting Transitions
P. S. Swain, A. O. Parry
Critical effects at complete and critical wetting in three dimensions are studied using a coupled effective Hamiltonian H[s(y),\ell]. The model is constructed via a novel variation…

Fluid adsorption at a non-planar wall: roughness induced first-order wetting
A. O. Parry, P. S. Swain, J. A. Fox
We study the problem of fluid adsorption at a non-planar wall with a view to understanding the influence of surface roughness on the wetting transition. Starting from an appropriat…

Coupled Fluctuations near Critical Wetting
A. O. Parry, C. J. Boulter, P. S. Swain
Recent work on the complete wetting transition has emphasized the role played by the coupling of fluctuations of the order parameter at the wall and at the depinning fluid interfac…
