| contents | The flow of yield stress fluids in porous media presents interesting complexity due to the interplay between the non-linear rheology and the heterogeneity of the medium. A remarkable consequence is that the number of flow paths increases with the applied pressure difference and is responsible for a non-linear Darcy law. Previous studies have focused on the protocol where the pressure difference is imposed. Here we consider instead the case of imposed flow rate, $Q$. In contrast to Newtonian fluids, the two types of boundary conditions have an important influence on the flow field. Using a two-dimensional pore network model we observe a boundary layer of merging flow paths of size $\ell(Q) \sim Q^{-μ/δ}$ where $μ= 0.42 \pm 0.02$ and $δ\simeq 0.63 \pm 0.05$. Beyond this layer the density of the flow paths is homogeneous and grows as $Q^μ$. Using a mapping to the directed polymer model we identify $δ$ with the roughness exponent of the polymer. We also characterize the statistics of non-flowing surfaces in terms of avalanches pulled at one end. |
