On the anomalous dynamics of capillary rise in porous media

The anomalous dynamics of capillary rise in a porous medium discovered experimentally more than a decade ago (Delker et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 76 (1996) 2902) is described. The developed theory is based on considering the principal modes of motion of the menisci that collectively form the wetting fro...
