Stationary finger solutions in the Hele-Shaw cell
Abstract
Description
We solve numerically the nonlinear differential equation for the Hele-Shaw, Saffman-Taylor problem derived in the preceding work. Stationary solutions with no free phenomenological parameters are found to fit the measured patterns. The calculated finger half-widths as a function of the physical parameters of the cell, compare satisfactorily with experiment.
