Competition Is the Underlying Mechanism Controlling Viscous Fingering and Wormhole Growth
Abstract Viscous fingering and wormhole growth are complex nonlinear unstable phenomena. We view both as the result of competition for water in which the capacity of an instability to grow depends on its ability to carry water. We derive empirical solutions to quantify the finger/wormhole flow rate...
