Experimental Study of Thermocapillary-Driven Capillary Pore Flows

Icon

Flow Visualization

 

  The video footage shown is taken for a 5mm capillary pore. The heating wire is wound below the meniscus for heating. L is the distance from the meniscus center to the beginning of the heater coil and D is the capillary diameter of 5mm.
