Selection Principle of Optimal Profiles for Immiscible Multi-Fluid Hele-Shaw Flows and Stabilization Academic Article

abstract

• In this paper, we discuss a previously unknown selection principle of optimal viscous configurations for immiscible multi-fluid Hele-Shaw flows that have emerged from numerical experiments on three- and four-layer flows. Moreover, numerical investigation on four-layer flows shows evidence of four-layer systems which are almost completely stabilizing. Simple physical mechanisms that explain both of these findings are discussed. 2012 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
