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…
