Investigation of the dynamics of immiscible displacement of a ganglion in capillaries

In this work the problem of displacing a ganglion of a fluid by another immiscible one in capillaries is investigated. A modeling approach is developed to predict the location of the ganglion with time. The model describes two patterns; namely, when the ganglion totally exists inside the tube, and wh...

Investigation of the dynamics of immiscible displacement of a ganglion in capillaries
description In this work the problem of displacing a ganglion of a fluid by another immiscible one in capillaries is investigated. A modeling approach is developed to predict the location of the ganglion with time. The model describes two patterns; namely, when the ganglion totally exists inside the tube, and when the advancing interface of the ganglion has broken through the exit of the tube. The model is valid for the case in which the ganglion is wetting as well as when it is nonwetting to the wall of the tube. It also considers the situation in which both the advancing and the receding interfaces assume, generally, different contact angles. For the special case when the displacement process is quasistatic, both the receding and the advancing contact angles may be considered the same. Under these conditions, interfacial tension force plays no role and the ganglion moves as a plug inside the tube with a constant velocity. When the viscosity ratio between the invading fluid and the ganglion is one (i.e., both phases are having the same viscosity) the motion reduces to the Hagen-Poiseuille flow in pipes. Once the advancing interface breaks through the exit of the tube, interfacial tension starts to take part in the displacement process and the ganglion starts to accelerate or decelerate according to the viscosity ratio.
