DOI: 10.1103/physrevfluids.3.124004
Abstract: Weakly nonlinear analysis is used to study fingering instabilities in radially tapered (converging and diverging) Hele-Shaw cells. It is found that changes in the capillary number modify the interface instability behavior and the finger shapes… read more here.
