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…
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…
