Young’s force construction
force and energy interpretations of capillarity
surface tension γ
[γ] = energy/area[γ] = force/length
from DVD “Interfaces mobiles”, Quere, Fermigier & Clanet
[γ] = energy/area[γ] = force/length
surface tension γ
dE = 2 γL dx
[γ] = energy/area[γ] = force/length
surface tension γ

dE = 2 γL dx

why only γLV?
γSV and γSL ?
energy always works!
★ at equilibrium, minimize dE=0
• p = const (Laplace, gravity, disjoining...)• boundary condition: Young’s law
my guide to capillarity
energy always works!
★ at equilibrium, minimize dE=0
• p = const (Laplace, gravity, disjoining...)• boundary condition: Young’s law
★ non-equilibrium, dE = Ftot dx (virtual work)

force interpretion: be careful!
★ specify the “system” to which forces are applied
★ know the rules of the game!

hydrostatic & Laplace pressure
from pressure to force
De Gennes, Brochard-Wyart & Quere
-γ κ(x) + ρg { h(x) - e } = 0
can we identify the capillary forces e.g. in the stress tensor?

mechanical definition
surface tension force is due to normal stress difference
near the interface:
γ = ∫ dz (pT-pN)

Q: why only γLV?
A: system = the solid
liquid-on-solid force
macrosopic view:
the surface tensions γSV and γSL do not pull on the
solid
★ energy route always gives correct answer
★ force interpretation: define “system”
• Young’s law: system = liquid corner
