ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the capillary model as a traditional method for modeling wicking in porous media is introduced. Despite its weaknesses, including its applicability to only one-dimensional (1-D) wicking, and reducing the complex geometry of a real porous medium into a simplifying bundle-of-paralleltubes-type geometry, the capillary model enjoys signi cant popularity with
