Liquid in a V-groove with curved bottom.

The contact angle on all surfaces is 50 degrees and the wedge half-angle is about 19.5 degrees. The rounded bottom rounds off the filament tip, but the contact angle is still low enough for the liquid to fill the groove, although the larger radius of curvature reduces the capillary force and the advance is slower.
