Spring 2022
This thesis research concerns controlling viscous fingering instability when a less-viscous fluid pushes another more-viscous one in a porous medium. This instability is called the Saffman-Taylor instability and has been extensively studied, primarily for simple Newtonian fluids. The resultant of...

This thesis work concerns the viscous fingering instability occurring during immiscible fluid-fluid displacement experiments using a novel radially-tapered fluidic cell. We use modified Hele-Shaw cells where a negative depth gradient is introduced by tapering the upper plate, so that the gap...
