4 Conclusions
In this work we have analyzed the problem of the capillary rise of a viscous liquid
into vertical and tilted Taylor-Hauskbee cells. We have put forward a theoretical
model to describe the actual equilibrium profiles. The model predicts pretty well
the profiles in such a cell. The transition to the equilibrium profiles shows complex
instantaneous profiles very similar to those occurring in a vertical cell. Further work
along this line is in progress.
