Characterizing Dissipation in Fluid-Fluid Displacement Using Constant-Rate Spontaneous Imbibition

When one fluid displaces another in a confined environment, some energy is dissipated in the fluid bulk and the rest is dissipated near the contact line. Here we study the relative strengths of these two sources of dissipation with a novel experimental setup: constant-rate spontaneous imbibition exp...
