Abstract
We have simulated intrusion of a non-wetting liquid into pores of
varying shape and size. Simulations were based on the lattice-Boltzmann
method and the Shan–Chen multiphase model. The liquid–solid contact
angle for pores with circular cross-section was found to be equal to
that for pores with square cross-section, and constant even for small
pore sizes if the discretised shape of the circular cross-section was
taken into account. For comparison, contact angle was also determined
for a liquid column descending in a capillary tube, and the results were
found to be consistent. Application of the method to mercury intrusion
porosimetry is discussed.
