Hele-Shaw Cell

Injection-driven fingering in a thin-gap flow field, with pressure-like transport and interface growth.

Click in the chamber to move the injection source. Burst gives a short pressure pulse.

Model Notes

This is a visual, real-time Hele-Shaw style simulator rather than a full CFD solver. It uses an interface-growth field with pressure-like radial transport, curvature smoothing, and instability forcing to create viscous fingering behaviour.
