This paper presents two algorithms for computing the contact angle of sessile liquid drops given data about the drops. The first yields the contact angle given the volume, surface tension and maximum diameter (or contact diameter) of a single drop. This algorithm is an extension of existing algorith

We have studied theoretically the effect of gravity on the rough solid-liquid interface and have shown that its tension is enhanced by gravity when gas is adsorbed at it. As a result, the apparent contact angle on rough surfaces, which has been considered not to be influenced by gravity so far, can
Contact angle measurements for the air/water/polyethylene and for the oil/water/quartz systems have been carried out over a wide range of drop (bubble) sizes, from \(60 \mu \mathrm{m}\) to \(2 \mathrm{~mm}\). Two distinctly different experimental techniques were used: placement of the drop (bubble)
