Abstract
The discovery of the choking effect in capillary channels could be made thanks to a propellant management paper by Jaekle [3] and experiments in the compensated gravity environment of a drop tower and a sounding rocket. After a thorough analysis of the governing equations taking into account inertial effects and the sophisticated image processing of the data, the results could be finally published by Rosendahl et al. [4]. But we are far away from the fully unsteady modeling and experimental corroboration of this flow phenomenon.
