Abstract
This paper presents an experimental approach to study the capillary impregnation of a liquid across an array of parallel micro-cylinders. The technique presented successfully validates the theoretical findings of part I, and provides a methodology to calculate the fill time and the overall capillary impregnation dynamics for any arbitrary cylindrical sample made of aligned micro-cylinders, by taking into account the role of the trapped gas, which opposes and slows down the inward capillary flow.
