Studying the cylindrical open-pore structure covering by a liquid layer is reduced to considering the sub-problems of the droplet shape simulation in several configurations: a droplet is on the cylinder surface, or a liquid is between the horizontal and vertical cylinders. The mass and thickness of the liquid layer are the parameters of such covering. For a porous system, the description of the method of simulating the droplet shape in the uniform gravity field is given. The Laplace equation solution is presented for a cylindrical droplet. Equilibrium droplet shapes have been obtained on surfaces of various forms and inclinations. The calculated estimates of the amount of liquid covering the surface of an open-pore structure are presented.Keywords: droplet shape, the Laplace equation, surface tension, wetting angle.
