capillary number

The capillary number represents the relative effect of viscous forces and surface tension acting across an interface between a liquid and a gas, or between two immiscible liquids. It is defined as

Ca \equiv \frac{\mu v}{\sigma}

where

\mu

is the viscosity of the liquid,

v

is a characteristic velocity, and

\sigma

is the surface or interfacial tension between the two fluid phases.
