Abstract
In a recent paper, Fischer and Finn have proposed a procedure
to improve the accuracy in the measurament of capillary contact angles,
based on the use of vessels with canonical cross-sections.
We simulate numerically the behaviour of such shapes for a number
of cross-sections and fluid contact angles.
Our approximation consists of the minimization of a suitable convex
functional discretized by finite elements.
