Study Shows How Nanoparticles Affect Flow in Porous Media

Individuals who have combined vinegar and oil may have unknowingly observed a weird fluid phenomenon known as fingering instability. This type of phenomenon, known as viscous fingering (VF), takes place in porous media where fluids of varying viscosity meet in finger-shaped patterns due to increasing disturbances at the interface.
