Abstract

The authors calculate a Landau mean-field phase diagram for the wetting transition on a cylindrical substrate as a function of the distance from coexistence. Although both the bulk field and the curvature cause the wetting layer to remain finite, they affect the wetting phase diagram in different ways.
