Three-dimensional simulation of unstable gravity-driven infiltration of water into a porous medium

Infiltration of water in dry porous media is subject to a powerful gravity-driven instability. Although the phenomenon of unstable infiltration is well known, its description using continuum mathematical models has posed a significant challenge for several decades. The classical model of water flow...
