Abstract
We present in this paper a method which applies the so-called Ising model and Kawasakithermodynamics, combined Mith the Monte Carlo computer simulation technique to studythe liquid-Hber interaction and the wetting behavior of Tiber networks.The various types of interactions occurrin;^ during a wetting process in a fiber mass areanalyzed, and their individual contributions towards the Hamiltonian system are derived.The criterion for energy state exchange between the Ising spin variables is given as the criticalstep for the wetting simulation.The procedures of the simulation algorithm are provided. Various predictions of the wettingprocess including wetting of a fiber network, the spreading of a liquid drop on a single Tiberas well as a brief parametric study are included in this paper
