We study self-similar viscous fingering for the case of divergent flow within a wedge-shaped Hele-Shaw cell. Previous authors have conjectured the existence of a countably-infinite number of selected solutions, each distinguished by a…

We study a family of solutions to the Saffman-Taylor problem with zero surface tension at a critical regime. In this regime, the interface develops a thin singular finger. The flow of an isolated finger is given by the Whitham equations for…

Let the interface between two immiscible fluids in a Hele-Shaw cell have, at t=0, a wedge shape. As a wedge is scale-free, the fluid relaxation dynamics are self-similar. We find the dynamic exponent of this self-similar flow and show that…

Using our exact time-depending solutions, we solve the Saffman-Taylor finger selection problem in the absence of surface tension by showing that an arbitrary interface in a Hele-Shaw cell evolves to a single uniformly advancing finger…

We address pattern selection problems in nonlinear interface dynamics by maximizing the entropy of the most probable (classical) scenario associated with the processes. This variational principle we applied to well-known selection problems…

Nonlinear time-dependent differential equations for the Hele-Shaw, Saffman-Taylor problem are derived. The equations are obtained using a separable ansatz expansion for the stream function of the displaced fluid obeying a Darcian flow.…

We develop a stream function approach for the horizontal Hele-Shaw, Saffman-Taylor finger. The model yields a nonlinear time-dependent differential equation. The finger widths derived from the equation are $1>\lambda>\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$, in…

We derive a formula describing the evolution of tip-splittings of Saffman-Taylor fingers in a Hele-Shaw cell, at zero surface tension.

Traditional mathematical models of Hele--Shaw flow consider the injection (or withdrawal) of an air bubble into (or from) an infinite body of viscous fluid. The most commonly studied feature of such a model is how the Saffman-Taylor…

The mathematical model of a steadily propagating Saffman-Taylor finger in a Hele-Shaw channel has applications to two-dimensional interacting streamer discharges which are aligned in a periodic array. In the streamer context, the relevant…

The three-layer Saffman-Taylor problem introduces two coupled moving interfaces separating the three fluids. A very recent weakly nonlinear analysis of this problem in a radial Hele-Shaw cell setup has shown that the morphologies of the…

We consider Saffman-Taylor channel flow without surface tension on a high-pressure driven interface, but modify the usual infinite-fluid in infinite-channel configuration. Here we include the treatment of efflux by considering a finite…

Walter Craig's seminal works on the water-waves problem established the importance of several exact identities: Zakharov's hamiltonian formulation, shape derivative formula for the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, normal forms…

We find that solvability theory selects a set of stationary solutions of the Saffman-Taylor problem with coexistence of two \it unequal \rm fingers advancing with the same velocity but with different relative widths $\lambda_1$ and…

The Saffman-Taylor problem addresses the morphological instability of an interface separating two immiscible, viscous fluids when they move in a narrow gap between two flat parallel plates (Hele-Shaw cell). In this work, we extend the…

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,…

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…

When a viscous fluid partially fills a Hele--Shaw channel, and is pushed by a pressure difference, the fluid interface is unstable due to the Saffman--Taylor instability. We consider the evolution of a fluid region of finite extent, bounded…

We conduct a theoretical study of a two-phase-fluid-structure interaction problem in which air is driven at constant volume flux into a liquid-filled Hele-Shaw channel whose upper boundary is an elastic sheet. A depth-averaged model in the…

We study the free boundary evolution between two irrotational, incompressible and inviscid fluids in 2-D without surface tension. We prove local-existence in Sobolev spaces when, initially, the difference of the gradients of the pressure in…
