The equilibrium shape of aliquid meniscus at a liquid-gas phase boundary of a system in which solid, liquid, and gaseous phases coexist is given by a balance of forces acting on the system. It is often greatly desirable in many materials processing applications to know and be able to predict this meniscus shape, because controlling it often affects the structure or properties of the resulting material. A method of calculation is introduced along with the Surface Evolver computer program, and solutions for simple geometries obtained using this program are compared with existing analytical and simple numerical solutions.
