Dendritic patterns from shear-enhanced anisotropy in nematic liquid crystals

<jats:p>Controlling the growth morphology of fluid instabilities is challenging because of their self-amplified and nonlinear growth. The viscous fingering instability, which arises when a less viscous fluid displaces a more viscous one, transitions from exhibiting dense-branching growth chara...
