Measurement of Pressure Gradients near the Interface in the Viscous Fingering Instability
Savannah D. Gowen, Thomas E. Videbaek, Sidney R. Nagel
The viscous fingering instability, which forms when a less-viscous fluid invades a more-viscous one within a confined geometry, is an iconic system for studying pattern formation.…
