Capillary Imbibition into Converging Tubes : Beating Washburn's Law and the Optimal Imbibition of Liquids

We consider the problem of capillary imbibition into an axisymmetric tube for which the tube radius decreases in the direction of increasing imbibition. For tubes with constant radius, imbibition is described by Washburn's law (referred to here as the BCLW law to recognize the contributions of...
