Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
A liquid meniscus between two lyophilic solid surfaces causes an attractive force, the capillary force. The meniscus can form by capillary condensation or by accumulation of adsorbed liquid. Under ambient conditions and between hydrophilic surfaces, capillary forces usually dominate over other surface forces. They are relevant in many processes occurring in nature and technical applications, for example the flow of granular materials and friction between surfaces. Here we review normal capillary forces, focusing on a quantitative description with continuum theory. After introducing the capillary force between spherical surfaces, we extend the discussion to other regular and irregular surfaces. The influence of surface roughness is considered. In addition to capillary forces at equilibrium, we also describe the process of meniscus formation. Assumptions, limits, and perspectives for future work are discussed.
