Résumé :

Displacement of a viscous fluid by a less viscous one is a challenging problem that usually involves the formation of interfacial digitations propagating into each one of the fluids, mixing them and preventing their normal displacement. We propose in this manuscript a protocol that is implemented via numerical simulation of the corresponding equations to improve the efficiency of the displacement. We consider a chemically active interface between the two chemically active fluids that produce a large viscosity interface that facilitates the process. All the relevant parameters of the mechanism are numerically analyzed aiming to optimize the efficiency of the method.
