Contact-angle change of capillary rise
ID: contact-angle-change-of-capillary-rise
For unchanged fluid, gravity and capillary geometry, equilibrium rise is proportional to the cosine of the contact angle measured through the liquid. Changing from angle to complete wetting therefore multiplies the height by . If contamination also changes liquid surface tension or density, the contact-angle ratio alone does not fix the new height.
