Decompaction and fluidization of a saturated and confined granular medium by injection of a viscous liquid or gas

Résumé

We compare quantitatively two experimental situations concerning injection of a miscible fluid into an initially jammed granular medium saturated with the same fluid, confined in a Hele-Shaw cell. The two experiments are identical, apart from the interstitial and injected fluid, which is in one case air injected into a dry granular packing, and in the other case silicone oil injected into a dense suspension. In spite of the strong differences regarding the nature of the two fluids, strikingly similar dynamical and geometrical features are identified as functions of the control parameters: cell thickness and applied fluid injection pressure. In both cases an initial hydrodynamically driven decompaction process controls the unjamming and prepares the final displacement process characterized by fingerlike patterns empty of grains. The pattern shapes are comparable. In addition, the mobilities of the coupled fluid-grain flow, rescaled by the interstitial fluid viscosity and grain diameter squared, are of the same range and behave comparably. The mobility proves to depend on the initial solid fraction of the medium. Subtle differences are observed in geometrical aspects like the finger width with respect to the control parameters.
