Numerical simulations of two-dimensional capillary filling using the pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann model for multiphase fluids are presented, with special emphasis on the role of finite-vapour density effects. It is shown that whenever the density of the light-phase exceeds about ten percent of the dense phase, the front motion proceeds through a combined effect of capillary advection and condensation. As a result, under these conditions, the front proceeds at a higher speed as compared to the Washburn prediction. It is suggested that such an acceleration effect might be observed in experiments performed sufficiently close to critical conditions

We present a systematic study of capillary filling for a binary fluid by using mesoscopic a lattice Boltzmann model describing a diffusive interface moving at a given contact angle with respect to the walls. We compare the numerical results at changi
ng the ratio the typical size of the capillary, H, and the wettability of walls. Numerical results yield quantitative agreement with the Washburn law in all cases, provided the channel lenght is sufficiently larger then the interface width. We also show that in the initial stage of the filling process, transient behaviour induced by inertial effects are under control in our lattice Boltzmann equation and in good agreement with the phenomenology of capillary filling. Finally, at variance with multiphase LB simulations, velocity and pressure profiles evolve under the sole effect of capillary drive all along the channel.

ging the density ratio between liquid and gas phases and the ratio between the typical size of the capillary and the interface width. It is shown that numerical results yield quantitative agreement with the Washburn law when both ratios are large, i.e. as the hydrodynamic limit of a infinitely thin interface is approached. We also show that in the initial stage of the filling process, transient behaviour induced by inertial effects and ``vena contracta mechanisms, may induce significant departure from the Washburn law. Both effects are under control in our lattice Boltzmann equation and in good agreement with the phenomenology of capillary filling.
Liquid capillary-bridge formation between solid particles has a critical influence on the rheological properties of granular materials and, in particular, on the efficiency of fluidized bed reactors. The available analytical and semi-analytical metho
ds have inherent limitations, and often do not cover important aspects, like the presence of non-axisymmetric bridges. Here, we conduct numerical simulations of the capillary bridge formation between equally and unequally-sized solid particles using the lattice Boltzmann method, and provide an assessment of the accuracy of different families of analytical models. We find that some of the models taken into account are shown to perform better than others. However, all of them fail to predict the capillary force for contact angles larger than $pi/2$, where a repulsive capillary force attempts to push the solid particle outwards to minimize the surface energy, especially at a small separation distance.
Capillary phenomena are involved in many industrial processes, especially those dealing with composite manufacturing. However, their modelling is still challenging. Therefore, a finite element setting is proposed to better investigate this complex is
sue. The variational formulation of a liquid-air Stokes system is established, while the solid substrate is described through boundary conditions. Expressing the weak form of Laplaces law over liquid-air, liquid-solid and air-solid interfaces, leads to a natural enforcement of the mechanical equilibrium over the wetting line, without imposing explicitly the contact angle itself. The mechanical problem is discretized by using finite elements, linear both in velocity and pressure, stabilized with a variational multiscale method, including the possibility of enrichment of the pressure space. The moving interface is captured by a Level-Set methodology, combined with a mesh adaptation technique with respect to both pressure and level-set fields. Our methodology can simulate capillary-driven flows in 2D and 3D with the desired precision: droplet spreading, droplet coalescence, capillary rise. In each case, the equilibrium state expected in terms of velocity, pressure and contact angle is reached.
We show how the capillary filling of microchannels is affected by posts or ridges on the sides of the channels. Ridges perpendicular to the flow direction introduce contact line pinning which slows, or sometimes prevents, filling; whereas ridges para
llel to the flow provide extra surface which may enhances filling. Patterning the microchannel surface with square posts has little effect on the ability of a channel to fill for equilibrium contact angle $theta_e lesssim 30^{mathrm{o}}$. For $theta_e gtrsim 60^{mathrm{o}}$, however, even a small number of posts can pin the advancing liquid front.
