When a liquid drop is placed on a smooth horizontal solid surface with various curvatures, the relative interfacial free energy Frel of the system, compared with the spherical liquid drop surrounded by gas as the reference state, can be expressed by the following equation, assuming that the effect of gravity is negligible and the liquid drop takes the shape of a spherical segment.
