Guided Waves Along Fluid-Filled Cracks in Elastic Solids and Instability at High Flow Rates
We characterize wave propagation along an infinitely long crack or conduit in an elastic solid containing a compressible, viscous fluid. Fluid flow is described by quasi-onedimensional mass and momentum balance equations with a barotropic equation of state, and the wall shear stress is written as a general function of width-averaged velocity, density, and conduit width. Our analysis focuses on ...
متن کاملSoret Dufour Driven Thermosolutal Instability of Darcy-maxwell Fluid
Linear stability of double diffusive convection of Darcy-Maxwell fluid with Soret and Dufour effects is investigated. The effects of the Soret and Dufour numbers, Lewis number, relaxation time and solutal Darcy Rayleigh number on the stationary and oscillatory convection are presented graphically. The Dufour number enhances the stability of Darcy-Maxwell fluid for stationary convection while it...
متن کاملHydrodynamic fingering instability of driven wetting films: hindrance by diffusion
Recent experimental and theoretical efforts have revealed the existence of a fingering instability at the moving front of thin liquid films forced to spread under gravitational, rotational or surface shear stresses, as for example by using the Marangoni effect. We describe how the presence of a precursor film in front of the spreading macroscopic film, whether it is by prewetting the substrate ...
متن کاملFingering instability of a sheet of yield-stress fluid.
We study the fingering instability that occurs at the contact line of a thin sheet of a yield-stress fluid flowing down an incline. We derive an expression for the wavelength of the finger pattern as a function of inclination angle for a Herschel-Bulkley fluid. The wavelength is predicted to diverge at a finite angle which is related to the yield stress of the fluid. We also measure the wavelen...
متن کاملFingering Instability in a Water-Sand Mixture
The temporal evolution of a water-sand interface driven by gravity is experimentally investigated. By means of a Fourier analysis of the evolving interface the growth rates are determined for the different modes appearing in the developing front. To model the observed behavior we apply the idea of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability for two stratified fluids. Carrying out a linear stability analysi...
