Re: [Question #685733]: surface tension value

 

Question #685733 on Yade changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/685733

Description changed to:
hello everybody,


this code exist in trunck master for two phase flow_drainage, i can't understand why surface tension in this code is given 10 ,while the true value of water 
surface tension is equal to 0 .0728 ?
