Simulation of the capillary action via FlowVision software

The paper considers the simulation of fluid flow processes in the FlowVision software with taking into account the capillary action, wettability, surface tension forces and fluid viscosity. Test problems were solved to take into account the influence of surface wettability on the basis of modeling a drop of mercury placed on a hydrophobic surface, as well as taking into account the capillary action by immersing a thin tube in a liquid and raising its level. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results was made, conclusions were made about the applicability of the FlowVision software for simulating the process of impregnating the framework of reinforcing fibers with a binder when forming products from metal matrix composites.
