Characterization of a capillary driven flow in microgravity by means of optical technique
Domenico Fiorini, Louis Carbonnelle, Alessia Simonini +3
The motion of a gas-liquid interface along a solid wall is influenced by the capillary forces resulting from the interface's shape and its interaction with the solid, where it form…
Capillary driven flows in microgravity
Domenico Fiorini, Alessia Simonini, Johan Steelant +2
This work investigates the capillary rise dynamics of highly wetting liquids in a divergent U-tube in the microgravity conditions provided by 78th European Space Agency (ESA) parab…
Dynamic wetting experiment with nitrogen in a quasi-capillary tube
Domenico Fiorini, Alessia Simonini, Johan Steelant +2
This work investigates the wetting dynamics of cryogenic fluids in inertia-dominated conditions. We experimentally characterized an oscillating gas-liquid interface of liquid nitro…
Analysis of an unsteady quasi-capillary channel flow with Time Resolved PIV and RBF-based super resolution
Manuel Ratz, Domenico Fiorini, Alessia Simonini +2
We investigate the behaviour of accelerating contact lines in an unsteady quasi-capillary channel flow. The configuration consists of a liquid column that moves along a vertical 2D…
