The equilibrium profile of a capillary meniscus formed under combined action of disjoining/conjoining and capillarity pressures is investigated. Attention is focused on the shape of a transition zone between a spherical meniscus and a thin liquid film in front of the meniscus. The Poisson-Boltzmann equation is used for calculations of electrostatic contribution to the disjoining/conjoining pressure and the liquid shape inside the transition zone. Both complete and partial wetting conditions are investigated.
研究了在分离/结合压力和毛细压力共同作用下形成的毛细管弯月面的平衡轮廓。重点关注球形弯月面与弯月面前薄液膜之间过渡区的形状。泊松-玻尔兹曼方程用于计算对分离/结合压力和过渡区内液体形状的静电贡献。研究了完全润湿和部分润湿条件。
