Monte Carlo simulation of a two-field effective Hamiltonian of complete wetting

Abstract

Recent work on the complete wetting transition for three dimensional systems with short-ranged forces has emphasized the role played by the coupling of order-parameter fluctuations near the wall and depinning interface. It has been proposed that an effective two-field Hamiltonian, which predicts a renormalisation of the wetting parameter, could explain the controversy between RG analysis of the capillary-wave model and Monte Carlo simulations on the Ising model. In this letter results of extensive Monte Carlo simulations of the two-field model are presented. The results are in agreement with prediction of a renormalized wetting parameter $\omega$.Comment: To appear in Europhysics Letters. Latex file, 6 pages, 2 figure
