Macroscopic Phase-Field Model of Partial Wetting: Bubbles in a Capillary Tube

Drops and bubbles are nonspreading, local, compactly supported features. They are also equilibrium configurations in partial wetting phenomena. Yet, current macroscopic theories of capillary-dominated flow are unable to describe these systems. We propose a framework to model multiphase flow in porou...
