Local changes in capillary pressure result in non-local deformations of the two-phase fronts, which have been recorded with a high speed camera and digitized in space and time. The front morphologies observed experimentally in the steady state are in excellent agreement with the predictions of a linear theory, particularly for low intensities of the gap modulation and for both positive and negative modulations. We have also studied the spatio-temporal dynamics of deformation of a nearly initially at front towards the steady state. In the presence of a positive modulation of the gap thickness, the difference in height between the front tip at the central modulation of the cell and its lateral tails accelerates in time5 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Díaz, 2016http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Dinàmica de fluidsTreballs de fi de grauFluid dynamicsBachelor's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
