The wetting of surfaces is strongly influenced by adsorbate layers. Therefore, in this work, sessile drops and their interaction with adsorbate layers on surfaces were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Binary fluid model mixtures were considered.

As it describes metastable and unstable states well, it is suited for predicting density profiles in vapor-liquid interfaces in combination with density gradient theory (DGT). DGT is usually applied to describe interfaces in Cartesian one-dimensional scenarios.
