Fingering instabilities of a reactive micellar interface.
We present an experimental study of the fingering patterns in a Hele-Shaw cell occurring when a gel-like material forms at the interface between aqueous solutions of a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and an organic salt (salicylic acid), two solutions known to form a highly elastic wormlike micellar fluid when mixed homogeneously. A variety of fingering instabilities are ob...
متن کاملInterface evolution during radial miscible viscous fingering.
We study experimentally the miscible radial displacement of a more viscous fluid by a less viscous one in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell. For the range of tested injection rates and viscosity ratios we observe two regimes for the evolution of the fluid-fluid interface. At early times the interface length increases linearly with time, which is typical of the Saffman-Taylor instability for this radi...
متن کاملMixing in a Moderately Sheared Salt-Fingering Layer
Mixing due to sheared salt fingers is studied by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a doublediffusively unstable shear layer. The focus is on the ‘‘moderate shear’’ case, where shear is strong enough to produce Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability but not strong enough to produce the subharmonic pairing instability. This flow supports both KH and salt-sheet instabilities, and the objec...
متن کاملBoundary conditions at a fluid-solid interface.
We study the boundary conditions at a fluid-solid interface using molecular dynamics simulations covering a broad range of fluid-solid interactions and fluid densities and both simple and chain-molecule fluids. The slip length is shown to be independent of the type of flow, but rather is related to the fluid organization near the solid, as governed by the fluid-solid molecular interactions.
متن کاملSalt-fingering convection in the small diffusivity ratio limit
Doubly diffusive processes play a fundamental role in many physical phenomena of substantial geophysical and astrophysical importance. Despite much research basic questions, e.g. how primary and secondary instabilities saturate and how mean fields are generated, remain unresolved. In the salt-finger regime, we use a systematic asymptotic procedure to reduce the primitive equations to a prognost...
