چکیده

We consider the motion of a thin filament of viscous fluid in a HeleShaw cell. The appropriate thin film analysis and use of Lagrangian variables leads to the Cauchy-Riemann system in a surprisingly direct way. We illustrate the inherent ill-posedness of these equations in various contexts.

نگاشت همدیس در طرح‌های انگشتی سافمن- تیلور

 We studied the growth of viscous fingers as a Laplacian growth by conformal mapping. Viscous fingers grow due to Saffman-Taylor instability in the interface between two fluids, when a less viscous fluid pushes a more viscous fluid. As there was an interest in the rectangular Hele-Shaw cell, we solved the Laplacian equation with appropriate boundary conditions by means of conformal mapping tech...

Nvestigation of a Boundary Layer Problem for Perturbed Cauchy-Riemann Equation with Non-local Boundary Condition

Boundary layer problems (Singular perturbation problems) more have been applied for ordinary differential equations. While this theory for partial differential equations have many applications in several fields of physics and engineering. Because of complexity of limit and boundary behavior of the solutions of partial differential equations these problems considered less than ordinary case. In ...

Kinetic roughening in two-phase fluid flow through a random Hele-Shaw cell.

A nonlocal interface equation is derived for two-phase fluid flow, with arbitrary wettability and viscosity contrast, c=(mu(1)-mu(2))/(mu(1)+mu(2)), in a model porous medium defined as a Hele-Shaw cell with random gap b(0)+delta b. Fluctuations of both capillary and viscous pressure are explicitly related to the microscopic quenched disorder, yielding conserved, nonconserved, and power-law corr...

Conformal and Potential Analysis in Hele-Shaw cells

Preface One of the most influential works in Fluid Dynamics at the edge of the 19-th century was a short paper [130] written by Henry Selby Hele-Shaw (1854–1941). There Hele-Shaw first described his famous cell that became a subject of deep investigation only more than 50 years later. A Hele-Shaw cell is a device for investigating two-dimensional flow of a viscous fluid in a narrow gap between ...
