  2. Capillary pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_pressure

    In fluid statics, capillary pressure is the pressure between two immiscible fluids in a thin tube (see capillary action), resulting from the interactions of forces between the fluids and solid walls of the tube. Capillary pressure can serve as both an opposing or driving force for fluid transport and is a significant property for research and ...

  3. Capillary action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_action

    Capillary action of water (polar) compared to mercury (non-polar), in each case with respect to a polar surface such as glass (≡Si–OH). Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space in opposition to or at least without the assistance of any external forces like gravity.

  4. Young–Laplace equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young–Laplace_equation

    Young–Laplace equation. Describing pressure difference over an interface in fluid mechanics. In physics, the Young–Laplace equation (/ ləˈplɑːs /) is an algebraic equation that describes the capillary pressure difference sustained across the interface between two static fluids, such as water and air, due to the phenomenon of surface ...

  5. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    Above the height of capillary saturation, the soil may be wet but the water content will decrease with elevation. If the water in the capillary zone is not moving, the water pressure obeys the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium, =, but note that , is negative above the water table. Hence, hydrostatic water pressures are negative above the ...

  6. Capillary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary

    3901. TH. H3.09.02.0.02001. FMA. 63194. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] A capillary is a small blood vessel, from 5 to 10 micrometres in diameter, and is part of the microcirculation system. Capillaries are microvessels and the smallest blood vessels in the body.

  7. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    Equation describing the penetration length of a liquid into a capillary tube with time. In physics, Washburn's equation describes capillary flow in a bundle of parallel cylindrical tubes; it is extended with some issues also to imbibition into porous materials. The equation is named after Edward Wight Washburn; [1] also known as Lucas ...

  9. Starling equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starling_equation

    The Starling principle holds that extracellular fluid movements between blood and tissues are determined by differences in hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure (oncotic pressure) between plasma inside microvessels and interstitial fluid outside them. The Starling equation, proposed many years after the death of Starling, describes ...
