For all flow patterns fans, there is a new UK Fluids Network Special Interest Group (SIG):

Flow, deformation, and reaction patterns in porous media

 

1st July marked the start of our new project ‘Frictional flow patterns shaped by viscous and capillary forces (FriicFlow)’, funded by EPSRC.

The project is a collaboration between the Complex Flow Lab, Prof. Chris MacMinn at University of Oxford and Prof. Eirik Flekkøy and Prof. Knut Jørgen Måløy at the Norwegian PoreLab Centre of Excellence.

Surely the biggest labyrinths the world has ever seen.

Thank you to Physics Central for covering our work.
