[edit] Which Young?

A sentence in this article reads:

As first described by Young in 1805 in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, it is the interaction between the forces of cohesion and the forces of adhesion which determines whether or not wetting, the spreading of a liquid over a surface, occurs.

Young points to a disambig page. Any idea which Young is being referred to here?

[edit] Mathematical Models?

I think that the mathematical models/equations, rather than the specific software tools that calculate them, would be more interesting when describing how to determine contact angle and surface energies.
