The Capillarity Influence On Shape Of Small Liquid Inclusions Enclosed In A Solid Under Non-Stationary Thermal Conditions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
An analytical model taking into account the influence of capillarity on the process of changing the cross-sectional shape of a cylindrical liquid inclusion enclosed in an anisotropic crystal under non-stationary thermal conditions is suggested. It is shown that the capillary effect confines the possibilities for controlling the inclusion shape under non-stationary thermal conditions. The capillarity influence becomes stronger with decreasing cross-sectional area and increasing interfacial energy. The results of calculations of the limit inclusion shape under different thermal conditions are presented and discussed.
