Wetted length (given Liquid transport in porous media, cumulative liquid intake) formula
x
the wetted length
i
the cumulative liquid intake
f
the porosity of the medium

Formula description

When a dry porous medium, such as a brick or a wick, is brought into contact with a liquid, it will start absorbing the liquid at a rate which decreases over time. This is a kind of capillary action.
