摘要
Existing continuum models of multiphase flow in pot-oils media arc, unable to explain why preferential flow (fingering) occurs during infiltration into homogeneous, dry soil. We identify a relevant pattern-forming, mechanism in the dynamics of the wetting front, and present a macroscopic model that reproduces the experimentally observed features of fingered flows. The proposed model reveals a scaling between local and nonlocal interface phenomena in imbibition, and does not introduce new independent parameters. The predictions based on this model are consistent with experiments and theories of scaling in porous media.
