Modeling an Elastic Fingering Instability in a Reactive Hele-Shaw Flow
In this paper we develop a mathematical model of Hele-Shaw flows in which two immiscible fluids react and form a gel-like phase at the interface, a phenomenon which has been observed in recent experiments. This phase significantly stiffens the interface. The interface is modeled as an elastic membrane which has a bending rigidity dependent on the local curvature. A dispersion relation is derive...
متن کاملInterfacial elastic fingering in Hele-Shaw cells: a weakly nonlinear study.
We study a variant of the classic viscous fingering instability in Hele-Shaw cells where the interface separating the fluids is elastic, and presents a curvature-dependent bending rigidity. By employing a second-order mode-coupling approach we investigate how the elastic nature of the interface influences the morphology of emerging interfacial patterns. This is done by focusing our attention on...
متن کاملImperfect Hele - Shaw cells
2014 The covering surfaces of a Hele-Shaw cell may be roughened mechanically, or modified by random chemical patches which change the wetting properties. We discuss first the quasi-static injection of a single fluid (with a finite contact angle 03B8e) in an imperfect cell. The shape of the injected region depends critically on a dimensionless number i (ratio of the boundary energy 03C4 over the...
متن کاملFingering of exothermic reaction-diffusion fronts in Hele-Shaw cells with conducting walls.
We consider the influence of heat losses through the walls of a Hele-Shaw cell on the linear stability and nonlinear dynamics of exothermic chemical fronts whose solutal and thermal contributions to density changes have the same signs. Our analysis is based on the reaction-diffusion-convection equations obtained from the Darcy-Boussinesq approximation. The parameters governing the equations are...
متن کاملContracting bubbles in Hele-Shaw cells
The problem of bubble contraction in a Hele-Shaw cell is studied for the case in which the surrounding fluid is of power-law type. A small perturbation of the radially symmetric problem is first considered, focussing on the behaviour just before the bubble vanishes, it being found that for shear-thinning fluids the radially symmetric solution is stable, while for shear-thickening fluids the asp...
