dcterms.abstractA comprehensive experimental study is presented to analyse the instabilities of a magnetic fluid drop surrounded by miscible fluid confined in a Hele-Shaw cell. The experimental conditions include different magnetic fields (by varying the maximum pre-set magnetic field strengths, H, and sweep rates, SR-dHt/dt, where Ht is the instant magnetic field strength), gap spans, h, and magnetic fluid samples, and are further coupled into a modified Péclect number Pe0 to evaluate the instabilities. Two distinct instabilities are induced by the external magnetic fields with different sweep rates: (i) a labyrinthine fingering instability, where small fingerings emerge around the initial circular interface in the early period, and (ii) secondary waves in the later period. Based on 81 sets of experimental conditions, the initial growth rate of the interfacial length, α of the magnetic drop is found to increase linearly with Pe0, indicating that α is proportional to the square root of the SR and h3=2 at the onset of the labyrinthine instability. In addition, secondary waves, which are characterised by the dimensionless wavelength δ= λ/h, can only be triggered when the three-dimensional magnetic microconvection is strong enough to make Pe0 exceed a critical value, i.e. Pe0 < 19 000, where is the wavelength of the secondary wave. In this flow regime of high Pe0, the length scale of the secondary wave instability is found to be δ= 7 ± 1, corresponding to the Stokes regime; meanwhile, in the flow regime of low Pe0, the flow corresponds to the Hele-Shaw regime introduced by Fernandez et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 451, 2002, pp. 239-260).en_US
