description

We report preliminary results of Monte Carlo simulations of critical point shifts in thin slit-like capillaries. By making use of the isomorphism with an Ising model subject to bulk and surface fields and employing a multi-cluster update algorithm with ghost-spin term we obtain the coexistence curve and the behavior at the critical point for various film thicknesses D.
