Buoyant fluid injections at high viscosity contrasts in an inclined closed-end pipe
S Akbari, SM Taghavi - Physics of Fluids, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
This paper studies the buoyant miscible injection of a high-viscosity fluid in a pipe filled with
a low-viscosity fluid. The injection is carried out via an eccentric inner pipe inside an inclined …
