Here we consider the capillary rise of a fluid along an interior corner of a container following a rapid reduction in gravity. The analytical portion of the work presents an asymptotic formulation in the limit of a slender fluid column, slight surface curvature along the corner, small inertia, and low gravity. New similarity solutions are found and a list of closed form expressions is provided for flow rate and column length. In particular, it is found that the flow is proportional to t(exp 1\/2) for a constant height boundary condition, t(exp 2\/5) for a spreading drop, and t(exp 3\/5) for constant flow. In the experimental portion of the work, measurements from a 2.2s drop tower are reported. An extensive data set, collected over a previously unexplored range of flow parameters, includes estimates of repeatability and accuracy, the role of inertia and column slenderness, and the effects of corner angle, container geometry, and fluid properties. Comprehensive comparisons are made which illustrate the applicability of the analytic results to low-g fluid systems design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Aeronautics and Space Administr,Mark Milton Weislogel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1288915764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781288915767\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioscholar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 0.22d","brand":"National Aeronautics and Space Administr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611397570815,"sku":"9781288915767","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f501f34-aa55-4e37-8eae-c90bdbcae1e6.jpg?v=1764513623","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/capillary-flow-in-an-interior-national-aeronautics-and-space-administr-9781288915767","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
