Flow and fracture in water-saturated, unconstrained granular beds

Flow and fracture in water-saturated, unconstrained granular beds

The injection of gas in a liquid-saturated granular bed gives rise to a wide variety of invasion patterns. Many studies have focused on constrained porous media, in which the grains are fixed in the bed and only the interstitial fluid flows when the gas invades the system. With a free upper boundary...
