Abstract
AbstractSolutions are found for the growth of infinitesimally thin, two-dimensional fingers governed by Poisson’s equation in a long strip. The analytical results determine the asymptotic paths selected by the fingers which compare well with the recent numerical results of Cohen and Rothman (J Stat Phys 167:703–712, 2017) for the case of two and three fingers. The generalisation of the method to an arbitrary number of fingers is presented and further results for four finger evolution given. The relation to the analogous problem of finger growth in a Laplacian field is also discussed.
