Hydrodynamic interaction and wetting near the critical point
Analysis of the hydrodynamic correlations in a film of a simple liquid reveals a new result: There is a region of incomplete wetting near the critical point Tc, The steric interaction of the fluctuations of the film-substrate boundary leads to a divergence of the film thickness h and to the vanishing of the wetting edge angle Θ in the limit T^TC.
