چکیده
The porous medium model of Green and Ampt, describing flow in porous media, appeared earlier than the capillary model of Washburn, although both lead to mathematically identical models. Here, the model of Green and Ampt was related to the Washburn model by an examination of the parameters involved in each. Fries et al. [N. Fries, M. Dreyer, J. Colloid Interface Sci. 320 (2008) 259-263] presented an explicit solution to this model. This solution is identical to the explicit solution of the Green and Ampt model presented earlier by Barry et al. [D.A. Barry, J.-Y. Parlange, G.C. Sander, M. Sivaplan, J. Hydrol. 142 (1993) 29-46].

An analytic solution of capillary rise restrained by gravity.
We derive an analytic solution for the capillary rise of liquids in a cylindrical tube or a porous medium in terms of height h as a function of time t. The implicit t(h) solution by Washburn is the basis for these calculations and the Lambert W function is used for its mathematical rearrangement. The original equation is derived out of the 1D momentum conservation equation and features viscous ...
متن کاملComment on "The effect of evaporation on the wicking of liquids into a metallic weave" by N. Fries, K. Odic, M. Conrath and M. Dreyer.
A recent paper reported capillary rise and evaporation experiments in metallic wicks, as well as a mathematical model. The authors found a consistent discrepancy between the model predictions and data: The model over-predicted the capillary height rise by about 20%. The model used assumes that the porous medium is either fully wet or dry, an assumption that is particularly unsuited to evaporati...
متن کاملThe transition from inertial to viscous flow in capillary rise.
We investigate the initial moments of capillary rise of liquids in a tube. In this period both inertia and viscous flow losses balance the pressure generated by the meniscus curvature (capillary pressure). It is known that the very first stage is purely dominated by inertial forces, where subsequently the influence of viscosity increases (visco-inertial flow). Finally the effect of inertia vani...
متن کاملWicking of Perfectly Wetting Liquids into a Metallic Mesh
Imbibition of liquids into porous media has significant importance to many processes. For example one application is the propellant management device (PMD), or liquid acquisition device (LAD), located within spacecraft tanks [1, 7]. The PMDs are designed to ensure gas free delivery of propellant during all mission accelerations. This is done by using a porous medium, a metallic mesh, which prev...
متن کاملCharacterization of Liquid Bridge in Gas/Oil Gravity Drainage in Fractured Reservoirs
Gravity drainage is the main mechanism which controls the oil recovery from fractured reservoirs in both gas-cap drive and gas injection processes. The liquid bridge formed between two adjacent matrix blocks is responsible for capillary continuity phenomenon. The accurate determination of gas-liquid interface profile of liquid bridge is crucial to predict fracture capillary pressure precisely. ...
