Capillary rise in a microchannel of arbitrary shape and wettability : hysteresis loop

Capillary rise in an asymmetric microchannel, in which both contact angle (wettability) and open angle (geometry) can vary with position, is investigated based on free-energy minimization. The integration of the Young-Laplace equation yields the general force balance between surface tension and grav...
