Hi James,
As far as I understand it, the contact angle and the categorization into strongly wetting, non-wetting, etc. is only relevant if we want to model the interaction between liquid, gas and a solid phase.
The current state of the freeSurface model focuses solely on the interaction between liquid and gas (including an interface layer between these two). The solids are not taken into account with the freeSurface model and are handled via standard boundary conditions.
On a first glance I didn’t find any sources that discuss the wetting / contact angle aspect in freeSurface. Do you happen to know any references or sources so we can look into it and potentially expand the freeSurface model in this direction?
