Abstract

The interface potential approach is used to compute interfacial properties of a model system consisting of water at a structureless non-polar surface. Both spreading and drying versions of the method, in which one focuses on the growth of a thin liquid and vapor film from the surface, respectively, are employed. We examine the substrate strength dependence of interfacial properties, including the spreading and drying coefficients, contact angle, and liquid-vapor surface tension, at a temperature of 500 K as well as the temperature dependence of these properties for a surface of moderate strength.
