Viscous fingering occurs when a thinner fluid pushes a thicker, more viscous fluid in a porous medium, like underground rock, creating unpredictable, finger-like patterns. For decades, this intricate ...

From cars on a highway to a viscous fluid like oil, our understanding of electron behaviour is being changed by new research. In high school science class, we learned that plugging a cable into an ...

The international collaborative team of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) in Japan and Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (IIT Ropar) in India has explored, for the first time, ...

Figure 1: A variant of classical viscous fingering. The control of interfacial instabilities is similarly applicable in expanding narrow passages. For instance, our results suggest that when a less ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We develop a general model of a multicomponent membrane where we treat the membrane as a two phase viscous fluid flowing on a time dependent ...

We present a three-dimensional model of flow driven by pumping without valves (valveless pumping) in a closed loop system in which the closed loop of tubing is immersed in an incompressible viscous ...

Honey is already a pretty thick liquid, but let it begin to crystalize and it can become downright clumpy. The sugar crystals in suspension seem to increase its viscosity. This phenomenon occurs ...

The next time you’re in the shower, try pouring a steady stream of shampoo into an open, flattened palm. See how the thread loops and buckles as it comes into contact with your hand? Physicists who ...
