A capillary flow model for discretely graded porous media in two phase heat transfer applications
The ability to predict imbibition in porous media is important for our understanding of engineered systems such as heat pipes and vapour chambers. If the microstructure of the porous media, or wick, changes along its length, it can be termed a graded wick. Such graded wicks have been shown to exhibi...
