Fingering of exothermic reaction-diffusion fronts in Hele-Shaw cells with conducting walls.
We consider the influence of heat losses through the walls of a Hele-Shaw cell on the linear stability and nonlinear dynamics of exothermic chemical fronts whose solutal and thermal contributions to density changes have the same signs. Our analysis is based on the reaction-diffusion-convection equations obtained from the Darcy-Boussinesq approximation. The parameters governing the equations are...
متن کاملDensity fingering of an exothermic autocatalytic reaction.
Density fingering of exothermic autocatalytic fronts in vertically oriented porous media and Hele-Shaw cells is studied theoretically for chemical reactions where the solutal and thermal contribution to density changes have opposite signs. The competition between these two effects leads to thermal plumes for ascending fronts. The descending fronts behave strikingly differently as they can featu...
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 کاملInterfacial elastic fingering in Hele-Shaw cells: a weakly nonlinear study.
We study a variant of the classic viscous fingering instability in Hele-Shaw cells where the interface separating the fluids is elastic, and presents a curvature-dependent bending rigidity. By employing a second-order mode-coupling approach we investigate how the elastic nature of the interface influences the morphology of emerging interfacial patterns. This is done by focusing our attention on...
متن کاملRotating 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...
