Abstract

We investigate capillary surfaces with boundary components on a floating body. The unknowns of this problem, the free surface and the position and orientation of the floating body are determined by minimizing the corresponding energy; besides gravitation and cohesion forces, we consider also adhesion between the fluid and both the wall of the container and the floating body. Existence of a solution is shown in the class of Caccioppoli sets under suitable restrictions on the data, as well as for surfaces that are graphs of real functions.
