Abstract
Capillary flows in open channels consisting of two parallel plates have been investigated in this research project with a large number of experiments using the drop tower, parabolic aircraft and sounding rocket. The first experiments were carried out in the Bremen drop tower and were based on the experiments of capillary liquid rise between two parallel plates performed by Dreyer [1] and Dreyer et al. [2]. They investigated the capillary rise of various liquids in channels of different geometries and predicted theoretically the time-dependence of the liquid rise.
