The present paper gives an overview of two methodologies for the computer simulation of wetting and capillary forces as well as particle-stabilized emulsions, which usually appear in a two-phase fluid system including solid bodies. One method is the molecular simulation with a coarse-grained model. The other is the computational fluid dynamics with a phase-field-model. The main emphasis of this review is concerning our idea how to model the solid surfaces with wettability for the different simulation methods in the same spirit of "a simple modeling with focusing on hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity".
