Stability considerations associated with the meniscoid particle band at advancing interfaces in hele-shaw suspension

Abstract:
In the free surface flow of dense suspensions in confined domains, spontaneous particle enrichment occurs in the region adjacent to the free surface with an attendant increase in the effective viscosity. We present experimental evidence that this particle accretion introduces stability considerations that would otherwise not exist if the suspension remained uniform. For conditions favoring global stability, a local fingering instability can occur in the accretion band. For conditions favoring global instability, accretion can suppress the global growth of viscous fingers at the interface.
