Fluid Dynamics of Two Miscible Liquids with Slow Diffusion and Gradient Stresses

理论建模和实验相结合的目的是 在探索决定交通的控制机制 和两个可混溶的 密度和成分不同的流体。 的作用 由浓度和密度梯度引起的应力将 以及这些行为是否会以某种方式 相当于界面的表面张力 不混溶流体 研究结果可用于预测和控制 各种界面和两相液体区域，例如 在多孔介质中的驱替，乳液，和分散的两个- 相混合和分散。

A combination of theoretical modeling and experiments is aimed at exploring the control mechanisms which determine transport and dynamics within the boundary region between two miscible fluids differing in density and composition. The role of stresses induced by concentration and density gradients will be investigated, and also whether these might act in a manner equivalent, to surface tension in the interface between immiscible fluids. Results will be applicable to prediction and control in various interface and two-phase liquid areas such as miscibe displacement in porous media, emulsions, and dispersed two- phase mixing and dispersion.
