For the buoyancy-driven motion of a drop in a Hele-Shaw cell, a circle is an exact solution for the shape of the drop. The stability of the shape of a circular drop translating in a Hele-Shaw cell under the action of gravity is investigated. It is shown that for nonzero interfacial tension, the circ

that a circular drop translating in a Hele-Shaw cell under the action of gravity is linearly stable for nonzero interfacial tension. In this paper, we use the boundary integral method to examine the nonlinear evolution of the shape of initially noncircular drops translating in a Hele-Shaw cell. For
The effect of surfactants on the axisymmetric pressure-driven motion of a droplet in a tube is investigated under low Reynolds number conditions. In the presence of surface-active impurities, the motion of the drop results in constant redistribution of the adsorbed surfactant along the interface by
The accuracy of calculating the normal modes in the numerical linear stability study of two-dimensional nondivergent viscous flows on a rotating sphere is analyzed. Discrete spectral problems are obtained by truncating Fourier's series of the spherical harmonics for both the basic flow and the distu
## Abstract Interfacial instability of a rotating miscible droplet with significant Coriolis force in a Hele–Shaw cell is simulated numerically. The influences of the relevant control parameters are first discussed qualitatively by fingering patterns. More vigorous fingerings are found at higher ro
A numerical investigation of the flow field inside and around a deformed drop translating in another quiescent liquid contaminated by surfactant soluble in continuous phase but not soluble in dispersed phase is presented in this paper. The finite difference method was used to solve numerically the c
