Viscous Fingering instability: lowly viscous fluid displaces another one. Paradigm: Hele Shaw cell Experimental setup by Saffman and Taylor. Proc. Roy. Soc. London (1983).
Viscous Fingering in Hele Shaw cell • Movement in layers • Smooth finger • No disorder • Capillary pressure set by interface curvature From Saffman and Taylor Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A 245, 312, (1958)
Diffusion Limited Aggregation DLA Witten and Sander, PRL 47, 1400, (1981) Particles are released one by one from far field. They move randomly They attach to the central cluster (starts with a seed)

Fingering in (random) porous media: Capillary fingering: low Ca (slow drainage) Lenormand and Zarconne, Phys. Rev. Lett 54, 2226, (1985). • Structure controlled by capillary threshold fluctuations • Structured well described by Invasion Percolation model. Wilkinson and Willemsen J. Phys. A 16, 3365, (1983), Viscous fingering: high Ca (fast drainage) • Structure controlled by viscous pressure • Field.
Drainage Defender Invader a Flow rate: R Capillary pressure
Necessary condition for invasion: Defender is capillary threshold pressure Capillary pressure threshold gives cutoff of invasion probability at a single pore. At low Ca: this rules the process:
Invasion percolation simulations • Capillary thresholds distributed at random • Lowest threshold along the front is invaded at each step. • Incompressibility condition and trapping: the mobile front has to be connected by fluid to the outlet. • Compressible case: • film flow, for example
Invasion percolation simulations • Red curve: upwards curvature.
Hele Shaw experiment Experimental setup by Saffman and Taylor. Proc. Roy. Soc. London (1983). Analog model to viscous fingering in porous media ?? Randomness is important for porous media!!
Viscous Fingering in Porous media • Movement in ”a few” single pores • Branched finger structures • Quenched disorder • Capillary threshold set by pore scale.

Invasion growth probability density is average number of new filled pores within between each image. and within a delay time Is a normalization constant. Where Gives probability for growth within
MeasuredInvasion probability density Wide model W=430mm Narrow model W=215mm Løvoll, Meheust, Toussaint, Schmittbuhl and Måløy, Phys. Rev. E 70, 026301, (2004) is independent of Invasion probability density Capillary number.
Relation between the mass of the frozen structure and the growth probability density is the average number of filled pores within is the number of invaded pores per time unit Total number of invaded pores in an analysis strip of width at a distance z from the finger tip:
We assume a constant speed of the tip (good approximation): Which gives: • The mass density is proportional to the cumulative growth probability, and the ratio of the injection rate and the tip velocity
Width of Saffman Taylor finger Saffman and Taylor. Proc. Roy. Soc. London (1958). Ca Saffman and Taylor further calculated the profile of the Finger where the finger width is a free parameter Finger width w/2 is now understood. The selection is due to surface tension:
For DLA it is found that the computed ensemble averaged DLA structures has a smooth profile which coincide with the profile of the Saffman Taylor solution with Arneodo, Couder, Grasseau, Hakim and Rabaud, PRL 63, 984, (1989) Arneodo, Elezgaray, Tabard and Tallet, Phys. Rev. E. 53, 6200, (1996)
Will viscous fingering in 2D models give an average • width consistent with a Saffman Taylor solution? • Is the value of consistent with what is observed • for DLA? We use the same procedure as used by Arneodo et al for DLA Define an average occupancy map: For each time (image) Assign a value 1 to the coordinate (x,y) if air is present and 0 otherwise. Is obtained as the time average of this occupancy function.
Ca=0.22, W/a=110 Ca=0.22, W/a=210 Ca=0.06, W/a=210 Superimposed gray map shows occupancy probability of the invader.
Ocupation density n(z): is normalized version of is a function of z/W and independent of Ca We have used same methods to find the width as used by Arneodo et al: where

Dependence of crossover length scale on capillary number Crossover scale is width of capillary threshold distribution. Wt characteristic pressure gradient in growth zone ( Imposed pressure gradient ) (in our case ) Above this scale: differences in pressure value above threshold fluctuations mostly due to viscous pressure drop Below it: Mostly due to fluctuations
Pressure measurements The dependence of the pressure on z/W. Same decay of the pressure difference indicates that the details of the ”fingers” don’t have a strong influence on the pressure field on large scales.

Our experiments correspond to situation 1) : For DLA : Our situation is closer to a Dielectric Breakdown Model with . .For DBM DBM model Niemeier, Pietronero and Wiesmann, PRL 52, 1033, (1984) Probability for growth of interface site:
Can use the equations 1) 2) 3) and the measured growth probabilityto find a pressure boundary boundary condition that take into acount the change in the capillary pressure.
Conclusion : • The growth probability is a function of z/W and is independent of the capillary number. • Mass of the frozen structure is given by the growth probability : • We compared the width of the ”envelope” structure with DLA and the Saffman Taylor problem: • The cross-over length scale between the viscous and capillary finger patterns inside the ”envelope” structure scales as • Theoretical arguments for the pressure gradient at the cluster surface predicts that the DBM with may better describe the viscous fingering process than the DLA model. • We introduce a new boundary condition for the pressure at the interface of the cluster that uses the measured growth probability which takes into acount the capillary threshold fluctuations.
