Difference between Capillary number and Surface tension

Capillary number vs. Surface tension

In fluid dynamics, the capillary number (Ca) represents the relative effect of viscous forces versus surface tension acting across an interface between a liquid and a gas, or between two immiscible liquids. Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible.

Similarities between Capillary number and Surface tension

Capillary number and Surface tension have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Capillary action, Eötvös number.

Capillary action

Capillary action (sometimes capillarity, capillary motion, capillary effect, or wicking) is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity.

Eötvös number

In fluid dynamics the Eötvös number (Eo), also called the Bond number (Bo), is a dimensionless number measuring the importance of gravitational forces compared to surface tension forces and is used (together with Morton number) to characterize the shape of bubbles or drops moving in a surrounding fluid.
