Study of capillary interaction between two grains: a new experimental device with suction control

Résumé

We investigated the behavior of a water liquid bridge formed between two grains. We mainly focused on tensile tests with suction control (capillary pressure). Theoretical and experimental studies are compared. A new experimental device involving suction control of the liquid bridge was developed specifically for this kind of test. Most of the liquid bridge variables and characteristics were measured by image analysis (gorge radius, volume, contact angles, filling angles). Capillary force was measured by differential weighting. Experimental conditions allows us to avoid viscous effects. Our experimental results were close to Young- Laplace equation solutions. The "gorge method", commonly used for calculating the capillary force, was also validated by our experiments. Liquid bridge rupture was studied and a new rupture criterion is proposed. This criterion depends on the grain radius, contact angle, surface tension and suction and was in agreement with the experimental results.
