Abstract
The contact angle of a sessile drop on a wall is considered within a modified planar Ising model. The thermal variation of this contact angle is computed exactly, and it is shown how a simple thermalization of the boundaries (wall) may lead to an exact treatment of multiple wetting transitions.Keywords
