Another experiment revealed that an instantaneous chemical reaction takes place between the two fluids, and at high Fe3+ concentrations it produces a film of the gel at the contact plane. The gel film is proposed to be responsible for the spiral pattern., application/pdf}, pages = {026307-1--026307-6}, title = {Spiral pattern in a radial displacement involving a reaction-producing gel}, volume = {78}, year = {2008} }
