Gas compression systematically delays the onset of viscous fingering
Using gas to drive liquid from a Hele-Shaw cell leads to classical viscous fingering. Strategies for suppressing fingering have received substantial attention. For steady injection of an incompressible gas, the intensity of fingering is controlled by the capillary number Ca. Here, we show that gas c...
