Influence of the fluid structure on the binding potential: comparing liquid drop profiles from density functional theory with results from mesoscopic theory

For a film of liquid on a solid surface, the binding potential $g(h)$ gives the free energy as a function of the film thickness $h$ and also the closely related structural disjoining pressure $\Pi = - \partial g / \partial h$. The wetting behaviour of the liquid is encoded in the binding potential a...
