Abstract: | The wetting kinetics of model tubes of different geometrical shape has been investigated theoretically and experimentally under conditions of simulated zero-gravity (earthbound laboratory experiments) and low gravity (sounding rocket experiments within the TEXUS-programme). The present note deals with the hydrodynamic forces (capillary-, friction-, inertia forces, etc.) resulting from capillary rise in cylindrical, conical and sinusoidal tubes. The rôle of these forces is studied numerically in some detail. |
