The Laplace-Young equation near a corner

John R. King · The Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics · 1999

We consider the behaviour of capillary surfaces in domains that contain a corner. The local behaviour at the corner can depend strongly on the contact angle (γ) and the corner angle (2α). We outline the full range of possibilities for 0 < γ ≤ ½π, including the transitions between the various regimes.
