Channel with three bulges.

The narrow parts of the channel are narrow enough to support bulk liquid progress, but also wide enough that separate Concus-Finn filaments can form. The bulges are too wide for bulk progress, so the filaments separate there and do not re-combine beyond the bulge. The contact angle on all surfaces is 30 degrees, so Concus-Finn filaments can form.
