Résumé

A Cahn and Hilliard fluid is in equilibrium in a solid container. The rugosity of the boundaries is taken into account through the assumption of an oscillating boundary whose period and amplitude are of the same order of magnitude as the thickness of the interface. We study the Gamma-limit of this problem when this length tends to zero. We obtain a homogenized boundary energy and we show that rugosity may modify the wetting property of the wall until it is completely wet.
