Thermal capillary wave
text:
Thermal motion is able to produce capillary waves at the molecular scale. At this scale,
gravity and hydrodynamics can be neglected, and only the surface tension contribution is
relevant. Capillary wave theory (CWT) is a classic account of how thermal fluctuations distort an interface.
It starts from some intrinsic surface h that is distorted. Its energy will be
proportional to its area: where the first equality is the area in this representation, and the second
applies for small values of the d
