Capillarity

Capillarity is a surface-driven interfacial phenomenon characterized by the spontaneous rise or depression of a liquid within a narrow confined space, such as a thin tube or porous medium, due to the balance between cohesive and adhesive forces at the solid-liquid interface, governed by the interplay of surface tension and contact angle.
