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…
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…
Peeling fingers in an elastic Hele-Shaw channel
J. V. Fontana, C. Cuttle, D. Pihler-Puzovic +2
Using experiments and a depth-averaged numerical model, we study instabilities of two-phase flows in a Hele-Shaw channel with an elastic upper boundary and a non-uniform cross-sect…
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…
Axisymmetric gas-liquid displacement flow under a confined elastic slab
Gunnar G. Peng, Callum Cuttle, Christopher W. MacMinn +1
A circular Hele-Shaw cell bounded by a volumetrically confined elastic solid can act as a fluidic fuse: during radially outward fluid flow, the solid deforms in response to the vis…
Dynamics of compression-driven gas-liquid displacement in a capillary tube
Callum Cuttle, Christopher W. MacMinn
We study two-phase displacement via the steady compression of an air reservoir connected to an oil-filled capillary tube. Our experiments and modelling reveal complex displacement…
The engulfment of aqueous droplets on perfectly wetting oil layers
Callum Cuttle, Alice B. Thompson, Draga Pihler-Puzović +1
Place a droplet of mineral oil on water and the oil will spread to cover the water surface in a thin film -- a phenomenon familiar to many, owing to the rainbow-faced puddles left…
Dynamics of front propagation in a compliant channel
Callum Cuttle, Draga Pihler-Puzović, Anne Juel
Front-propagating systems provide some of the most fundamental physical examples of interfacial instability and pattern formation. However, their nonlinear dynamics are rarely addr…
