Desiccation of a clay film: Cracking versus peeling
Supti Sadhukhan, Janett Prehl, Peter Blaudeck +3
Cracking and peeling of a layer of clay on desiccation has been simulated using a spring model. A vertical section through the layer with finite thickness is represented by a recta…
Crack Patterns in Laponite Films Dried in Electrostatic Field
Sujata Tarafdar, Dibyendu Mal, Suparna Sinha +1
Crack patterns in a layer of laponite gel allowed to dry in a static electric field are studied. Crack patterns in natural and synthetic clays have been studied extensively with in…
Percolation in deposits for competitive models in (1+1)-dimensions
N. I. Lebovka, S. S. Manna, S. Tarafdar +1
The percolation behaviour during the deposit formation, when the spanning cluster was formed in the substrate plane, was studied. Two competitive or mixed models of surface layer f…
Radially Interrupted Viscous Fingers in a Lifting Hele-Shaw Cell
Suparna Sinha, Subrata Kumar Kabiraj, Tapati Dutta +1
Viscous fingers have been produced in the lifting Hele-Shaw cell, with concentric circular grooves etched onto the lower plate. The invading fluid (air) enters the defending newton…
Condensation and Evaporation of Mutually Repelling Particles :Steady states and limit cycles
T Dutta, N I Lebovka, S Tarafdar
We study condensation and evaporation of particles which repel each other, using a simple set of rules on a square lattice. Different results are obtained for a mobile and an immob…
Simulation of Hierarchical Viscous Fingering Pattern in Lifting Hele-Shaw Cell
T Dutta, S Kabiraj, S Tarafdar
Viscous fingers in the lifting Hele-Shaw cell form a hierarchical pattern due to competition between growing fingers in a converging geometry. If the defending fluid is visco-plast…
