A theoretical investigation of how capillary tubes work, focusing on how surface tension and intermolecular forces allow liquid to flow against gravity. 2. Capillary Action in Microfluidics & Paper
This paper studies capillary action in space (low gravity) environments, analyzing how fluids behave when they are not influenced by gravity. capillary
Focuses on how natural fibers behave in capillary systems, often used in evaporative applications. 4. General Principles & Examples A theoretical investigation of how capillary tubes work,
A foundational paper (1921) examining the dynamics of capillary flow, comparing static capillary rise to dynamic flow. It explores how liquids move through porous materials, essential for understanding infiltration and impregnation. Focuses on how natural fibers behave in capillary
An overview of capillary flow in open microchannels, covering its applications in spacecraft fuel transportation, printed electronics, and microfluidics.
A detailed study of how blood behaves within tiny capillary tubes, specifically looking at the resistance to flow (bolus flow) and how it compares to standard viscous flow.
This paper introduces the "paper capillary" to improve sampling in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, allowing for better control of fluid transport.
