Abstract
By using numerical simulations based on the Kawasaki algorithm, we study the shape of a drop of + spins in a corner formed by two walls with a different surface field. Different shapes for the drop are observed as a function of the opening angle δ of the corner. This is in complete agreement with thermodynamic arguments based on the Winterbottom or on the Summertop construction. Moreover, it is shown that for the same temperature and wall free energies a complete wetting regime may appear by varying the opening angle δ. This confirms the general validity of previous results derived for SOS models.
