Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the static wettability of Lennard-Jones liquid droplets. Argon molecules are also considered as the wall molecules. In this study, we proposed a new method considering the adsorption layers to fit the liquid-vapor interface and calculate the contact angle of the droplet. The result is compared with the conventional method which cutoffs the adsorption layers to avoid the influence of density fluctuations. It is found that the fitting curve from this method shows better agreement with the interface than using the conventional method.
