Miscible density-stable displacement flows in inclined tube
We study density-stable laminar miscible displacement flow of two iso-viscous Newtonian fluids in an inclined pipe (diameter D̂). We present a wide range of novel experimental results. We illustrate the non-monotone relation in displacement efficiency at the density difference moves from positive (density unstable) to negative (density stable), the efficiency being minimal for iso-dense fluids. ...

متن کاملAnalytical and variational numerical methods for unstable miscible displacement flows in porous media
The miscible displacement of one fluid by another in a porous medium has received considerable attention in subsurface, environmental and petroleum engineering applications. When a fluid of higher mobility displaces another of lower mobility, unstable patterns referred to as viscous fingering may arise. Their physical and mathematical study has been the object of numerous investigations over th...
متن کاملSmall Atwood number Rayleigh-Taylor experiments.
Consideration is given to small Atwood number (non-dimensional density difference) experiments to investigate mixing driven by Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instability. The past 20 years have seen the development of novel experiments to investigate R-T mixing and, simultaneously, the advent of high-fidelity diagnostics. Indeed, the developments of experiments and diagnostics have gone hand in hand, an...
متن کاملPassive swimming in low-Reynolds-number flows.
The possibility of microscopic swimming by extraction of energy from an external flow is discussed, focusing on the migration of a simple trimer across a linear shear flow. The geometric properties of swimming, together with the possible generalization to the case of a vesicle, are analyzed. The mechanism of energy extraction from the flow appears to be the generalization to a discrete swimmer ...
