Wetting on Nanorough Surfaces [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 We present in this Letter a free-energy approach to the dynamics of a fluid near a nanostructured surface. The model accounts both for the static phase equilibrium in the vicinity of the surface (wetting angles, Cassie-Wenzel transition) and the dynamical properties like liquid slippage at the boundary.

Wetting of curved surfaces [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1998 As a first step towards a microscopic understanding of the effective interaction between colloidal particles suspended in a solvent we study the wetting behavior of one-component fluids at spheres and fibers. We describe these phenomena within density functional theory which keeps track of the microscopic interaction potentials governing these systems.

Assessing rainfall-induced wetting band depth for stability analysis of unsaturated soil slopes
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023 Because of factors such as plant root action, soil capillary action, and evapotranspiration, the soil near the surface of a slope tends to be drier and in an unsaturated state.
