The displacement of a viscous fluid by an air bubble in the narrow gap between two parallel plates can readily drive complex interfacial pattern formation known as viscous fingering. We focus on a modified system suggested recently by [1],…
We analyze the Saffman-Taylor viscous fingering problem in rectangular geometry. We investigate the onset of nonlinear effects and the basic symmetries of the mode coupling equations, highlighting the link between interface asymmetry and…
The Saffman-Taylor viscous fingering problem is investigated for the displacement of a non-Newtonian fluid by a Newtonian one in a radial Hele-Shaw cell. We execute a mode-coupling approach to the problem and examine the morphology of the…
We reconsider the radial Saffman-Taylor instability, when a fluid injected from a point source displaces another fluid with a higher viscosity in a Hele-Shaw cell, where the fluids are confined between two neighboring flat plates. The…
In this paper, the interaction between two immiscible fluids with a finite mobility ratio is investigated numerically within a Hele-Shaw cell. Fingering instabilities initiated at the interface between a low viscosity fluid and a high…
The displacement of a viscous liquid by a gas within a Hele-Shaw cell is a classical problem. The gas-liquid interface is hydrodynamically unstable, forming striking finger-like patterns that have attracted research interest for decades.…
We explore the interfacial instability that results when a Newtonian fluid (a glycerol-water mixture, inner fluid) displaces a viscoelastic fluid (a dense cornstarch suspension, outer fluid) in a radial Hele-Shaw cell. As the ratio of…
We study a diffuse interface model describing the motion of two viscous fluids driven by the surface tension in a Hele-Shaw cell. The full system consists of the Cahn-Hilliard equation coupled with the Darcy's law. We address the physically…
We study the exact non-singular zero-surface tension solutions of the Saffman-Taylor problem for all times. We show that all moving logarithmic singularities a_k(t) in the complex plane \omega = e^{i\phi}, where \phi is the stream function,…
A circular Hele-Shaw cell bounded by a volumetrically confined elastic solid can act as a fluidic fuse: during radially outward fluid flow, the solid deforms in response to the viscous pressure field such that the gap expands near the inlet…
We develop a systematic method to derive all orders of mode couplings in a weakly nonlinear approach to the dynamics of the interface between two immiscible viscous fluids in a Hele-Shaw cell. The method is completely general. It includes…
We demonstrate experimentally the existence of a purely elastic fingering instability which arises when air penetrates into an elastomer confined in a Hele-Shaw cell. Fingers appear sequentially and propagate within the bulk of the material…
The onset of viscous fingering in the presence of a non monotonic viscosity profile is investigated theoretically for two immiscible fluids. Classical fluid dynamics predicts that no unstable behavior may be observed when a viscous fluid…
Viscous fingers in the lifting Hele-Shaw cell form a hierarchical pattern due to competition between growing fingers in a converging geometry. If the defending fluid is visco-plastic, a permanent three-dimensional pattern is formed, which…
A fundamental question in fluid dynamics concerns the formation of discontinuous shock waves from smooth initial data. We prove that from smooth initial data, smooth solutions to the 2d Euler equations in azimuthal symmetry form a first…
In this paper, the interfacial motion between two immiscible viscous fluids in the confined geometry of a Hele-Shaw cell is studied. We consider the influence of a thin wetting film trailing behind the displaced fluid, which dynamically…
The evolution of a two-phase Hele-Shaw problem, a Muskat problem, under assumption of a negligible surface tension is considered. We use the Schwarz function approach and allow the sinks and sources to be line distributions with disjoint…
An instability may arise when a hot viscous fluid enters a thin gap and cools through heat transfer to a colder surrounding environment. Fluids whose viscosity increases strongly upon cooling create a positive feedback in which warmer…
We consider the Hele-Shaw flow that arises from injection of two-dimensional fluid into a point of a curved surface. The resulting fluid domains have and are more or less determined implicitly by a mean value property for harmonic…
Motivated by the variety of applications in which nematic Hele-Shaw flow occurs, a theoretical model for Hele-Shaw flow of a nematic liquid crystal is formulated and analysed. We derive the thin-film Ericksen-Leslie equations that govern…
