Abstract
By means of a dynamics approach, the phase transition of a simple fluid confined by two different adsorbing walls is investigated using the van der Waals theory. For partial wetting situations, the authors recover the results for second-order phase transitions at the critical wall separation. In particular, they study the effect of surface fields on the phase behaviour and phase transitions of the fluid.
