Figure 4

Water volume in the outer and inner layers in the open, semi-closed, and closed states. (a) The open state has large inner layer and small outer layer. (b) The semi-closed state has equal volume in both layers. (c) The closed state has large outer layer and small inner layer, in contrast to the open state. (d) An intermediate state has zero mean curvature. It happens between the open and the semi-closed state.
