Monotonic rising and oscillating of capillary-driven flow in circular cylindrical tubes

Capillary rise is one of the best-known capillarity phenomena, and some capillary flows rise monotonically, whereas others oscillate, but no criteria have been formulated for this scenario. In this paper, the critical radius of the capillary tube is predicted numerically by Levine’s model. To the be...
