Abstract
The wetting of roughened surfaces is complicated since not all of the surface of the irregular surface is wetted and thus, the three-phase contact line for the liquid drop is a complex, three-dimensional line that varies according to the dimensions of the roughness and its spatial heterogeneity. This can cause the contact line to not sit within a constant height horizontal plane especially when air is trapped underneath the liquid layer. Here, we explore the effect of roughness on the effective contact angle of a water droplet on a roughened hydrophobic surface. The results show that the apparent contact angle varies around the periphery of the droplet due to the roughness of the surface on first contact. Also, repeated wetting of the droplet on the surface reveals that the apparent contact angle changes due to residual liquid remaining on the roughened surface. The results also show that the Wenzel and Cassie-Baxter models tend to overestimate the apparent contact angle on the roughened surfaces.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
