11 Flat Flow by Kamila SouΔková Task Fill a thin gap between two large transparent horizontal parallel plates with a liquid and make a little hole in the center of one of the plates. Investigate the flow in such a cell, if a different liquid is injected through the hole. 2 3 11 12 Interfacial Pressure π1 π2 π β π ≈ Δππ = π1 − π2 = 2 π interfacial pressure due to curved surface must be overcome π ≈ 10−1 , π ≈ 10−4 ⇒ Δππ ≈ 103 pressures we work with are ~104 to 105 ⇒ negligible 13 Understood Phenomena • flow through a porous medium – Darcy’s Law: π£ = π − π π»π Figure from Hornberger et al.
