Abstract We present a Monte Carlo computer simulation study of phase transitions in a three-dimensional Ising/lattice gas model with nearest neighbor attractive coupling and confined to a slit-like capillary with absorbing walls. Data are generated for thicknesses D ⩽ 40 and are used to study the shift of the phase boundaries due to finite wall separation.
