We present a hydrodynamic model of spreading epithelial monolayers as polar viscous fluids, with active contractility and traction on the substrate. The combination of both active forces generate an instability that leads to nonlinear…
The Saffman-Taylor instability occurs when a less viscous fluid is displacing a more viscous one in a rectangular Hele-Shaw cell. A surface tension on the interface between the two fluids is improving the stability. The multi-layer Hele -…
