Crossover from fingering to fracturing in deformable disordered media

We investigate the displacement of one fluid by another in a deformable medium with pore-scale disorder. We develop a model that captures the dynamic pressure redistribution at the invasion front and the feedback between fluid invasion and microstructure rearrangement. Our results suggest how to col...
