Effect of Horizontal Vibration on the Interfacial Instability in a Horizontal Hele-Shaw Cell

The effect of periodic oscillations on the interfacial instability of two immiscible fluids, confined in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell, is investigated. A linear stability analysis of the basic state leads to a periodic Mathieu oscillator corresponding to the amplitude of the interface. Then, the thre...
