Rotating hele-shaw cells with ferrofluids
We investigate the flow of two immiscible, viscous fluids in a rotating Hele-Shaw cell, when one of the fluids is a ferrofluid and an external magnetic field is applied. The interplay between centrifugal and magnetic forces in determining the instability of the fluid-fluid interface is analyzed. The linear stability analysis of the problem shows that a nonuniform, azimuthal magnetic field, appl...
متن کاملImperfect Hele - Shaw cells
2014 The covering surfaces of a Hele-Shaw cell may be roughened mechanically, or modified by random chemical patches which change the wetting properties. We discuss first the quasi-static injection of a single fluid (with a finite contact angle 03B8e) in an imperfect cell. The shape of the injected region depends critically on a dimensionless number i (ratio of the boundary energy 03C4 over the...
متن کاملContracting bubbles in Hele-Shaw cells
The problem of bubble contraction in a Hele-Shaw cell is studied for the case in which the surrounding fluid is of power-law type. A small perturbation of the radially symmetric problem is first considered, focussing on the behaviour just before the bubble vanishes, it being found that for shear-thinning fluids the radially symmetric solution is stable, while for shear-thickening fluids the asp...
متن کاملSynchronization between two hele-shaw cells.
Complete synchronization between two Hele-Shaw cells is examined. The two dynamical systems are chaotic in time and spatially extended in two dimensions. It is shown that a large number of connectors are needed to achieve synchronization. In particular, we have studied how the number of connectors influences the dynamical regime that is set inside the Hele-Shaw cells.
متن کاملTwo-phase Flow in Rotating Hele-shaw Cells with Coriolis Effects
The free boundary problem of a two phase flow in a rotating Hele-Shaw cell with Coriolis effects is studied. Existence and uniqueness of solutions near spheres is established, and the asymptotic stability and instability of the trivial solution is characterized in dependence on the fluid densities.
