Simulated growth of wetting layers

We have done Monte Carlo simulations of the growth of wetting films in two and three dimensions for the case of nonconserved order parameters using a solid-on-solid model with nearest-neighbor interactions; cases with both short-ranged and algebraic adsorbate-substrate potentials have been examined. Where applicable, the results support the predictions of Lipowsky which are based on analysis of effective interface models. They are also in general agreement with the Ising model simulations of Mon, Binder, and Landau for the particular case of three dimensions and short-ranged adsorbate-substrate interactions.
