, 2011 Although the siphon has been in use since ancient times, the exact mechanism of operation is still under discussion. For example, most dictionaries assert that atmospheric pressure is essential to the operation of a siphon rather than gravity.

Hydrophilic polymeric coatings for enhanced, serial-siphon based flow control on centrifugal lab-on-disc platforms [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper, we implement rotational flow control on a polymeric microfluidic “lab-on-a-disc” device by combining serial siphoning and capillary valving for sequential release of on-board stored liquid reagents.

, 2015 The maximum height of a siphon is generally assumed to be dependent on barometric pressure—about 10 m at sea level. This limit arises because the pressure in a siphon above the upper reservoir level is below the ambient pressure, and when the height of a

Fish Sperm Subpopulations Detection, Separation, and Application: Current State and Trends
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.Modern advances in sperm biology highlight the necessity of recognising intra‐ejaculate heterogeneity as a central concept for advancing both the fundamental understanding of fertilisation processes and the development of artificial reproduction techniques in fishes. ABSTRACT Sperm subpopulations represent a fundamental manifestation of intra‐ejaculate

When Regulation Travels: Distrust and Disrespect
Regulation &Governance, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 789-804, July 2026.ABSTRACT Endeavoring to avoid the pitfalls of being too trusting of regulated entities' compliance claims, regulators sometimes create regulatory systems with elaborate requirements for verification. But as these accountability and verification regimes attempt to circumvent one set of problems, they may inadvertently create others.

Numerical Simulation of Siphon Breaker Systems for Open-type Research Reactors
, 2019 The POSTECH facility experiments to mimic the siphon breaker system of anopen-type nuclear research reactor were simulated by computational fluid dynamics. Two siphon breaker lines and one siphon breaker hole designs were solved with OpenFOAM.

Experimental Factors and Techniques for Pool Boiling Heat Transfer Enhancement: A Critical Review
Heat Transfer, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 2201-2232, June 2026.ABSTRACT This review presents a comprehensive assessment of active strategies for enhancing pool boiling heat transfer, with a focus on techniques that do not rely solely on the boiling surface modification. It examines a broad range of methodologies including fluid additives, external fields, mechanical interventions, and thermal‐geometric tuning that

FLOATING SIPHON WITH A CONSTANT HEAD
, 1974 A floating siphon made up of concentric tubes is proposed as a reliable and inexpensive device to discharge water from a reservoir tank at a constant rate independent of the water level in the tank, provided the siphon is discharged freely into the ...

A practical example of a siphon at work [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper, some classroom experiments are described for correcting the common misconception that the operation of a siphon depends on atmospheric pressure.
