The Wenzel model, commonly used for predicting the equilibrium contact angle (CA) of drops which penetrate the asperities of a rough surface, does not account for the liquid volume stored in the asperities. Interestingly, many previous experimental and molecular dynamics studies have noted discrepancies between observed CAs and those predicted by the Wenzel model because of this neglected liquid volume. Here, we apply a thermodynamic model to wetting of periodically patterned surfaces to derive a volume-corrected Wenzel equati
