contents In this paper, an anisotropic volume-preserving mean curvature type flow for star-shaped anisotropic $ω_0$-capillary hypersurfaces in the half-space is studied, and the long-time existence and smooth convergence to a capillary Wulff shape are obtained. If the initial hypersurface is strictly convex, the solution of this flow remains to be strictly convex for all $t>0$ by adopting a new approach applicable to anisotropic capillary setting. In analogy with closed hypersurfaces, if the $ω_0$-capillary Wulff shape is a $θ$-capillary hypersurface with constant contact angle $θ$, the quermassintegrals for anisotropic capillary hypersurfaces match the mixed volume of two $θ$-capillary convex bodies. Thus, generalized quermassintegrals for anisotropic capillary hypersurfaces with general Wulff shapes (i.e., the $ω_0$-capillary Wulff shape has a variable contact angle) can be defined, which satisfy certain monotonicity properties along the flow. As applications, we establish an anisotropic capillary isoperimetric inequality for star-shaped anisotropic capillary hypersurfaces and a family of new Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for strictly convex anisotropic capillary hypersurfaces. In particular, we provide a flow's method to derive the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for two $θ$-capillary hypersurfaces, demonstrated in [30] (arXiv:2408.13655) from the view of point in convex geometry.
