Spontaneous imbibition of water in capillary tubes that contain viscous silicone oils and gas bubbles [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe investigate the spontaneous capillary imbibition of water in tubes that contain a silicone oil slug. The capillary flow is studied as a function of the silicone oil slug’s viscosity, volume and position in the capillary tube.
