eng Abstract:
Theoretical investigation of the capillary-driven flows has been carried out. Based on the virial theorem it has been proven that a family of the capillary-driven flows is described by power laws with an universal set of exponents: 3/2, – 1/3, – 1/2 which interrelate the characteristic spatial (L), temporal (T) and velocity (U) scales.
