Abstract

A simple and general method is presented to calculate the equilibrium surface of a liquid that penetrates spontaneously, due to capillarity, in the gap between two vertical corrugated plates. Several properties of the equilibrium solution are discussed and the results are backed by a qualitative experiment.
