Dynamics of compression-driven gas-liquid displacement in a capillary tube

We study two-phase displacement via the steady compression of an air reservoir connected to an oil-filled capillary tube. Our experiments and modeling reveal complex displacement dynamics depending on compression rate and reservoir volume that, for large reservoirs, depend on a single dimensionless...
