Interfacial elastic fingering in Hele-Shaw cells: a weakly nonlinear study
We study a variant of the classic viscous fingering instability in Hele-Shaw cells where the interface separating the fluids is elastic, and presents a curvature-dependent bending rigidity. By employing a second-order mode-coupling approach we investigate how the elastic nature of the interface infl...
