Abstract

We study viscous fingering patterns in a lifting Hele-Shaw cell, where a non-Newtonian fluid (oil paint) is displaced by air. The lengths of the air fingers are measured and their cumulative distribution is seen to follow a power law with log-periodic oscillations indicating the presence of discrete scale invariance.
