Liquid in square bundle of 16 non-uniform rods.

The contact angle on the inner rods is 30 degrees and 100 degrees on the outside rods. The gap between the rods is one rod radius. The forward pull of the center rods is enough to drag the liquid forward only on the non-corner outside rods. The outer corner rods get dewetted. See this interactive app to explore liquid wicking in rods,
