Fluid dynamics

the fingering that appears when a less viscous fluid pushes a more viscous one through a porous medium or narrow gap.

In fluid dynamics, Saffman-Taylor instability refers to the fingering that appears when a less viscous fluid pushes a more viscous one through a porous medium or narrow gap. This meaning comes from Saffman (1958) in Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences.[1]
