Friction modifies the quasistatic mechanical response of a confined, poroelastic medium

Térence Desclaux, Callum Cuttle, Chris W. MacMinn +1

The mechanical response of elastic porous media confined within rigid geometries is central to a wide range of industrial, geological, and biomedical systems. However, current mode…

Bulldozing an immersed granular material in a confined channel

Liam C. Morrow, Oliver W. Paulin, Matthew G. Hennessy +4

The motion of an immersed granular material in a channel is characterised by complex interactions among the grains, between the grains and the permeating liquid, and between the gr…

Solute transport due to Periodic Loading in a Soft Porous Material

Matilde Fiori, Satyajit Pramanik, Christopher W. MacMinn

In soft porous media, deformation drives solute transport via the intrinsic coupling between flow of the fluid and rearrangement of the pore structure. Solute transport driven by p…

Gas compression systematically delays the onset of viscous fingering

Liam C. Morrow, Callum Cuttle, Christopher W. MacMinn

Using gas to drive liquid from a Hele-Shaw cell leads to classical viscous fingering. Strategies for suppressing fingering have received substantial attention. For steady injection…

Episodic fluid venting from sedimentary basins fuelled by pressurised mudstones

Luke M. Kearney, Richard F. Katz, Christopher W. MacMinn +2

Subsurface sandstone reservoirs sealed by overlying, low-permeability layers provide capacity for long-term sequestration of anthropogenic waste. Leakage can occur if reservoir pre…

Compression-driven viscous fingering in a radial Hele-Shaw cell

Callum Cuttle, Liam C. Morrow, Christopher W. MacMinn

The displacement of a viscous liquid by a gas within a Hele-Shaw cell is a classical problem. The gas-liquid interface is hydrodynamically unstable, forming striking finger-like pa…
