摘要
Based on fluid mechanics theories, this research focuses on numerical simulation and analysis of capillary flow under microgravity in fan-shaped asymmetric interior corner. We analyze the effect the contact angle has on rising height in a fan-shaped asymmetric interior corner, and get the Concus-Finn condition the calculation of capillary flow needs to satisfy in fan-shaped asymmetric interior corner. Then we study the effect that different parameters of experimental medium and container configuration has on capillary flow in fan-shaped asymmetric interior corner when Concus-Finn condition is fulfilled. The conclusions of this paper has an important role in guiding the analytic solution of flow in a fan-shaped asymmetric interior corner under microgravity. We can also chose the appropriate experimental medium and design a container based on this paper.
