We investigate the dynamics of granular materials confined in a radial Hele-Shaw cell,
during central air injection. The behavior of this granular system, driven by its interstitial fluid …

We study the injection of air into a granular suspension in a confined geometry. The grains
and the suspending fluid are density matched allowing to vary the grain fraction ϕ over the …

We compare quantitatively two experimental situations concerning injection of a miscible
fluid into an initially jammed granular medium saturated with the same fluid, confined in a …

We investigate experimentally the pattern formation process during injection of air in a
noncohesive granular material confined in a linear Hele-Shaw cell. We characterize the …

The surface roughness of several stylolites in limestones was measured using high-
resolution laser profilometry. The 1D signals obtained were statistically analyzed to …

Laboratory air injection experiments in a two-dimensional vertically placed cell filled with a
water-saturated packing of spherical glass beads show a particular transition of air flow …

We present here a simplified, analytical 2D model of sand production. Computing sanding
for different failed zone geometries allows us to put lower and higher bounds on expected …

Sublimation at the lower surface of a seasonal sheet of translucent CO2 ice at high southern
latitudes during the Martian spring, and rapid outflow of the CO2 gas generated in this …

We investigate the different flow regimes in nonconsolidated porous media. The porous bulk
is soaked with water, which is then pumped out of it, across the boundary defined by the …

This paper discusses laboratory studies to determine the nature of channel growth and
stability in proppant packs with and without fibers. Tests were performed with proppant …
