Abstract
A Hele-Shaw cell can be used to explore a variety of phenomena that involve surface tension and viscosity simultaneously. Being essentially two-dimensional the effects are easy to observe, and often simple to calculate apart from fine details. Waves growing exponentially on an unstable interface, and tear drops falling slowly down the cell, are interesting examples.Keywords
