Co-direction : Jacques MeunierWe study the Saffman-Taylor instability in complex fluids. More precisely, we study the relation between rheological properties and pattern formation in a Hele-Shaw cell. To do so, we use model fluids, having only one non-Newtonian property at a time. A rheological study shows that the dominant property of a solution of the rigid polymer Xanthane is the shear thinning viscosity, that a solution of the flexible polymer PEO exhibits normal stresses and that a polymer gel exhibits a yield stress. For classical fluids, the relative width of the Saffman-Taylor fingers is determined by the ratio of the viscous forces to the capillary forces. In the case of a shear thinning fluid, the viscous forces are altered, leadi...
