Laboratory FAST (Fluides, Automatique et Systèmes Thermiques) is a CNRS research laboratory (UMR 7608), associated with the University Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 6 and the University Paris-Sud 11.

Head: N. Ribe

Focus on a project

Interfacial instability with miscible fluids

M. D'Olce, J. Martin, N. Rakotomalala, D. Salin, L. Talon

We investigate experimentally, numerically (using BGK lattice simulation) and theoretically the interfaces instabilities between miscible fluids. The picture shows an instability of the flow of a less viscous fluid flowing through two more viscous ones. This can leads to parabolic or elliptic problem depending of the different fluids concentration.
