Capillary driven flow through microchannel

patelhardy52 · January 29, 2018, 16:04

Hi
I am modelling open channel flow with rectangular channel of 2 micron height and 100 micron length. I am using VOF model with level set method. Channel is oriented in horizontal . Droplet of water at the inlet of horizontal channel is considered. So, What type of boundary condition are necessary to model this kind of flow ?
I don't know, how to plot the displacement vs time graph ?

Hi,
Were you able to solve this problem?
Even I am looking to solve open channel capillary flow in microchannel.
