kapillärstrukturer
Kapillärstrukturer, often referred to as capillary structures, are a fascinating aspect of fluid dynamics and material science. They are essentially the intricate network of small, interconnected channels or pores found within various materials. The term "capillary" itself refers to the narrow tubes whose behavior with liquids is governed by capillary action, a phenomenon driven by surface tension and adhesive forces.
These structures are not limited to man-made materials; they are ubiquitous in nature. For example, in plants,
In materials science, capillary structures are intentionally designed and engineered for a wide range of applications.
The study of capillary structures is essential for understanding how liquids behave in confined spaces. This
