The Hele-Shaw injection problem for an extremely shear- thinning power law fluid

We consider Hele-Shaw flows driven by injection of a highly shear-thinning power-law fluid (of exponent n) in the absence of surface tension. We formulate the problem in terms of the streamfunction ?, which satisfies the p-Laplacian equation ?·(|??|p?2??) = 0 (with p = (n+1)/n) and use the method of...
