Diffusion-driven transition between two regimes of viscous fingering

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Diffusion between miscible fluids in the viscous-fingering instability produces an unexpected transition into a novel pattern. Usually thought of as a two-dimensional phenomena, this works shows the importance of three-dimensional structure to the patterns that form.
