Numerical simulation results (time evolution of concentration field (c))

Caption

Fig. Numerical simulation results (time evolution of concentration field (c)). (a) Fully miscible system, (b) Partially miscible system (phase separation effect : weak), (c) Partially miscible system (phase separation effect: medium), (d) Partially miscible system (phase separation effect: strong) at successive dimensionless times t = 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, from top to bottom. The scale bar is shown at the right. (a) In the fully miscible system, typical viscous fingering is formed. (b ~ d) In the partially miscible system, as the strength of phase separation increases, the viscous fingering changes to a droplet formation pattern.
