Wicking through complex interfaces at interlacing yarns
Bibliographic record
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS: Wicking flow in the wale direction of knit fabrics is slowed by capillary pressure minima during the transition at yarn contacts. The characteristic pore structure of yarns leads to an unfavorable free energy evolution and is the cause of these minima. EXPERIMENTS: Time-resolved synchrotron tomographic microscopy is employed to study the evolution of water configuration during wicking flow in interlacing yarns. Dynamic pore network modeling is used based on the obtained image data and distributions of delay times for pore intrusion. Good agreement is observed by comparison to the experimental data. FINDINGS: Yarn-to-yarn transition is found to coincide with slow water advance in a thin interface zone at the yarn contact. The pore spaces of the two yarns merge within this interface zone and provide a transition path. A deep capillary pressure minimum occurs while water passes through the center of the interface zone, effectively delaying the wicking flow. A pore network model considering pore intrusion delay times is expanded to include inter-yarn wicking and reproduce the observed wicking dynamics.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
