Only trial and error can tell at this point. Keep in mind that the max
value is defined in terms of non-dimensional pressure pR/gamma (p:
succion, R: radius, gamma: surface tension), not in terms of p.
I must say I'm not in a hurry to fix those things since we are in the
process to introduce another capillary model which will deprecate this
one (the work of Caroline Chalak).

Yes, it makes no sense to compute penetration again, as suggested in the
code comment.
You are welcome to change this.
