Electroconvective viscous fingering in a single polyelectrolyte fluid on a charge selective surface
Abstract When a low-viscosity fluid displaces into a higher-viscosity fluid, the liquid-liquid interface becomes unstable causing finger-like patterns. This viscous fingering instability has been widely observed in nature and engineering systems with two adjoined fluids. Here, we demonstrate a hithe...
