Capillary Apr 2026

This paper discusses the mechanics of capillary flow within paper, specifically focusing on the wicking of liquids into porous, fibrous networks. 3. Biological and Complex System Capillarity

An overview of capillary flow in open microchannels, covering its applications in spacecraft fuel transportation, printed electronics, and microfluidics. capillary

Focuses on how natural fibers behave in capillary systems, often used in evaporative applications. 4. General Principles & Examples This paper discusses the mechanics of capillary flow

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. Focuses on how natural fibers behave in capillary

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.

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 introduces the "paper capillary" to improve sampling in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, allowing for better control of fluid transport.
