Instabilities in confined elastic layers under tension: Fringe, fingering and cavitation
Under tension, confined elastic layers can exhibit various modes of mechanical instabilities, including cavitation, fingering and fringe instabilities. While the cavitation has been extensively studied, the fingering and fringe instabilities have not been well understood, and the relations and interactions of these instabilities have not been explored yet. In this paper, we systematically study...
متن کاملViscous and elastic fingering instabilities in foam.
We investigate pattern formation in the immiscible displacement of foam from a confining geometry. The dominant length scales with the driving pressure gradient as for a Newtonian fluid, but depends surprisingly on the ratio of plate separation to bubble diameter. The pattern morphology exhibits a transition from a jagged, presumably elastic, character to a smooth, viscous character as the shea...
متن کاملElectric-field-induced interfacial instabilities of a soft elastic membrane confined between viscous layers.
We explore the electric-field-induced interfacial instabilities of a trilayer composed of a thin elastic film confined between two viscous layers. A linear stability analysis (LSA) is performed to uncover the growth rate and length scale of the different unstable modes. Application of a normal external electric field on such a configuration can deform the two coupled elastic-viscous interfaces ...
متن کاملFingering instabilities in dewetting nanofluids.
The growth of fingering patterns in dewetting nanofluids (colloidal solutions of thiol-passivated gold nanoparticles) has been followed in real time using contrast-enhanced video microscopy. The fingering instability on which we focus here arises from evaporatively driven nucleation and growth in a nanoscopically thin precursor solvent film behind the macroscopic contact line. We find that well...
متن کاملControlling fingering instabilities in rotating ferrofluids.
We perform a detailed analytic and numerical study of the evolution of a ferrofluid drop confined to a rotating Hele-Shaw cell in the presence of an azimuthal magnetic field. Our results demonstrate that the centrifugally driven interfacial instabilities can be simply controlled with the use of a current-carrying wire. We compare an analytic linear analysis to our computational results and show...
