Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsENHANCED CAPILLARY RISE OF WETTING LIQUIDS IN REDUCED GRAVITATIONAL SHIELDING UNDER MICROGRAVITY CONDITIONSGeorge D. Zouganelis, Ioannis Gkigkitzis, Ioannis HaranasWe study the capillary rise of wetting in liquids by slightly modifying Ponomarenko’s result, a recently derived and observed t1/3 law, without omitting the corresponding gravity term and therefore we find hnew (t)≅0.9085hPon (t) instead, which corresponds to a 9% difference. Furthermore, in order to examine the effect of corrected gravity, we extend the result on the surface of a … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2014 · 7,900 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResonance Caused by the Gravitational waves On an Earth SatelliteMohamad RadwanThe present work deals with the motion of an Earth satellite taking into account the oblateness of the Earth and of a passing Gravitational wave. The oblateness of the Earth is truncated beyond the second zonal harmonic, J2, which plays the role of the small parameter of the problem. The conditions for resonance are determined and the resonance resulting from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,769 accessesView PDF Cite
