Abstract

Liquid flow as disturbed by the presence of a fluid interface of definite shape was studied during immiscible liquid/fluid displacement in a capillary tube. Microscopic cinematography with tracer method has been used to obtain flow patterns on both sides of the moving interface. The effect of the curvature of the interface on the distribution of velocity components was investigated. The experimental results obtained for flat liquid/fluid interfaces were compared with those calculated from an approximate solution of the flow equation by Kafka and Dussan V.
