• Capillary washboarding during slow drainage of a frictional fluid 

      Thorens, Louison; Måløy, Knut Jørgen; Flekkøy, Eirik Grude; Sandnes, Bjørnar; Bourgoin, Mickaël; Santucci, Stephane F A (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Numerous natural and industrial processes involve the mixed displacement of liquids, gases and granular materials through confining structures. However, understanding such three-phase flows remains a formidable challenge, ...
    • Frictional fluid instabilities shaped by viscous forces 

      Zhang, Dawang; Campbell, James; Eriksen, Jon Alm; Flekkøy, Eirik Grude; Måløy, Knut Jørgen; MacMinn, Christopher W.; Sandnes, Bjørnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Multiphase flows involving granular materials are complex and prone to pattern formation caused by competing mechanical and hydrodynamic interactions. Here we study the interplay between granular bulldozing and the stabilising ...
    • Shape of a frictional fluid finger 

      Flekkøy, Eirik Grude; Sandnes, Bjørnar; Måløy, Knut Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Frictional fluid dynamics describes the displacement patterns that arise when a confined mixture of liquid and grains are displaced by an immiscible fluid under pressures that are too small to cause drainage into single ...
