Modelling capillary filling dynamics using lattice Boltzmann simulations

We investigate the dynamics of capillary filling using two lattice Boltzmann schemes: a liquid-gas model and a binary model. The simulation results are compared to the well-known Washburn's law, which predicts that the filled length of the capillary scales with time as l ∝ t1/2. We find that th...
