Existent condition of partially wet state in capillary tubes
Chen Zhao, Jiajia Zhou, Masao Doi
We develop a theory that predicts the equilibrium states of a fluid contained in a capillary which has corners. Each section of the tube can take three states: completely wet state…

Capillary Filling Dynamics in Polygonal Tubes
Chen Zhao, Yu Huang, Tingxuan Chen +3
We study the dynamics of capillary filling in tubes of regular polygon cross-section. Using Onsager variational principle, we derive a coupled ordinary differential equation and pa…
