Abstract
We present an experimental study of slow laminar miscible displacement flows in vertical narrow eccentric annuli. We demonstrate that for suitable choices of viscosity ratio, density ratio and flow rate, we are able to find steady travelling wave displacements along the length of the annulus, even when strongly eccentric. Small eccentricity, increased viscosity ratio, increased density ratio and slower flow rates all appear to favour a steady displacement for Newtonian fluids. Qualitatively similar effects are found for non-Newtonian fluids, although the role of flow rate is less clear. These results are largely in line with predictions of a Hele-Shaw style of displacement model (Bittleston et al ., J. Engng Math ., vol. 43, 2002, pp. 229–253). The experiments also reveal interesting phenomena caused largely by secondary flows and dispersion. In the steady displacements, eccentricity drives a strong azimuthal counter-current flow above/below the advancing interface. This advects displacing fluid to the wide side of the annulus, where it focuses in the form of an advancing spike. On the narrow side we have also observed a spike, but only in Newtonian fluid displacements. For unsteady displacements, the azimuthal currents diminish as the interface elongates. With a strong enough yield stress and with a large enough eccentricity, unyielded fluid remains behind on the narrow side of the annulus.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
