Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Thanks for the details, but I had indeed this area in mind. Again, I
think a volume numeric value can not correspond to an area..

Furthermore, the YADE capillary data come from solving Laplace-Young
equation for 3D axisymmetric pendular bridges. It is impossible to use
these data to deal with 2D bridges (or 3D bridges being invariant along
x direction).

Because the very initial partial derivative equation (PDE) describing
the bridges would not be the same: "YADE" considers [2] from Lian1993
which applies to 3D axisymmetric bridges. Another PDE would hold for a
"2D" case.
