Stable and unstable capillary fingering in porous media with a gradient in grains size
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Marcel Moura, Renaud Toussaint +1
We present a theoretical and experimental investigation of slow drainage in porous media with a gradient in the grains size (and hence in the typical pores' throats), in an externa…

Thermal dissipation as both the strength and weakness of matter. A material failure prediction by monitoring creep
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Alain Cochard +2
In any domain involving some stressed solids, that is, from seismology to general engineering, the strength of matter is a paramount feature to understand. We here discuss the abil…

Influence of pore-scale disorder on viscous fingering during drainage
Renaud Toussaint, Grunde Løvoll, Yves Méheust +2
We study viscous fingering during drainage experiments in linear Hele-Shaw cells filled with a random porous medium. The central zone of the cell is found to be statistically more…
