Nonlocal capillarity theory
A talk in the Nonlocal Equations: Analysis and Numerics series by
Serena Dipierro from The University of Western Australia, Perth
| Abstract: |
We present a fractional version of the classical Gauss free energy functional used in capillarity theory which takes into account surface tension energies of nonlocal type. The case of interaction kernels that are possibly anisotropic and not necessarily invariant under scaling can be also taken into account, and in this general setting we determine a nonlocal Young's law for the contact angle and discuss the unique solvability of the corresponding equation in terms of the interaction kernels and of the relative adhesion coefficient.
