Currently, the most important preparation process for porous polymer membranes is the
phase inversion process. While applied for several decades in industry, the mechanism that …

The role of nonlinear rheology of polymeric fluids in finger formation and the ensuing
morphology of the patterns in miscible flow displacement is examined experimentally. The …

We examine the full 'life cycle'of miscible viscous fingering from onset to shutdown with the
aid of high-resolution numerical simulations. We study the injection of one fluid into a planar …

We investigate the stability of radial viscous fingering (VF) in miscible fluids. We show that
the instability is determined by an interplay between advection and diffusion during the initial …

The flow through a Hele–Shaw cell is an experimental prototype to study the flow through a
porous medium as well as the flow in microfluidic devices. In context with porous medium …

Viscous fingering is a flow instability that is induced at the displacement front when a less-
viscous fluid (LVF) displaces a more-viscous fluid (MVF). Because of the opaque nature of …

We develop coupled evolution equations for viscous fingering (VF) and phase separation in
partially miscible systems by combining a simple double-well thermodynamic free energy …

The numerical study examines the dynamics of viscous fingering in a miscible flow
displacement involving an exothermic reaction between displacing and displaced fluids …

Miscible viscous fingering (VF) of the annulus of a more viscous fluid radially displaced by a
less viscous fluid is investigated through both numerical computations and experimental …

The effect of permeability heterogeneities and viscosity variations on miscible displacement
processes in porous media is examined using high-resolution numerical simulations and …
