	'''Viscous fingering''' is the formation of patterns in a morphologically unstable ] in a porous medium or in a ]. It occurs when a less viscous fluid is injected displacing a more viscous one (in the inverse situation, with the more viscous displacing the other, the interface is stable and no patterns form). It can also occur driven by gravity (without injection) if the interface is horizontal separating two fluids of different densities, being the heavier one above the other. In the rectangular configuration the system evolves until a single finger (the Saffman–Taylor finger) forms. In the radial configuration the pattern grows forming fingers by successive tip-splitting.

	Most experimental research on viscous fingering has been performed on Hele-Shaw cells. The two most common set-ups are the channel configuration, in which the less viscous fluid is injected by an end of the channel, and the radial one, in which the less viscous fluid is injected by the center of the cell. Instabilities analogous to viscous fingering can also be self-generated in biological systems.<ref name="Mather">{{cite journal\|author=Mather W, Mondragon-Palomino O, Danino T, Hasty J, Tsimring LS\|journal=Phys.

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From an alternative name: This is a redirect from a title that is another name or identity such as an alter ego, a nickname, or a synonym of the target, or of a name associated with the target.
- This redirect leads to the title in accordance with the naming conventions for common names to aid searches and writing. It is not necessary to replace these redirected links with a piped link.
- If this redirect is an incorrect name for the target, then {{R from incorrect name}} should be used instead.

With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
