Fluid-Driven Instabilities in Granular Media: From Viscous Fingering and Dissolution Wormholes to Desiccation Cracks and Ice Lenses

Single and multi-phase fluids fill the pore space in sediments; phases may include gases (air, CH4, CO2, H2, and NH3), liquids (aqueous solutions or organic compounds), and even ice and hydrates. Fluids can experience instabilities within the pore space or trigger instabilities in the granular skele...
