We report forced radial imbibition of water in a porous medium in a Hele-Shaw cell. Washburns law is confirmed in our experiment. Radial imbibition follows scaling dynamics and shows anomalous roughening dynamics when the front invades the porous medium. The roughening dynamics depend on the flow rate of the injected fluid. The growth exponents increase linearly with an increase in the flow rate while the roughness exponents decrease with an increase in the flow rate. Roughening dynamics of radial imbibition is markedly different from one dimensional imbibition with a planar interface window. Such difference caused by geometric change suggests that universality class for the interface growth is not universal.
Imbibition plays a central role in diverse energy, environmental, and industrial processes. In many cases, the medium has multiple parallel strata of different permeabilities; however, how this stratification impacts imbibition is poorly understood.
We performed an experimental observation on the spontaneous imbibition of water in a porous media in a radial Hele-Shaw cell and confirmed Washburns law, where r is distance and t is time. Spontaneous imbibition with a radial interface window followe
Imbibition, the displacement of a nonwetting fluid by a wetting fluid, plays a central role in diverse energy, environmental, and industrial processes. While this process is typically studied in homogeneous porous media with uniform permeabilities, i
Channel formation and branching is widely seen in physical systems where movement of fluid through a porous structure causes the spatiotemporal evolution of the medium in response to the flow, in turn causing flow pathways to evolve. We provide a sim
Flows through porous media can carry suspended and dissolved materials. These sediments may deposit inside the pore-space and alter its geometry. In turn, the changing pore structure modifies the preferential flow paths, resulting in a strong couplin
