Dispersion in Fractures with Ramified Patterns

Water saturated with gypsum is injected into a radial disk plaster sample with a ramified dissolution pattern. The flow in the aperture above the sample is traced by fluorescence. The traced flow clearly shows the dispersion flowline influenced by the fractal-like initail ramified pattern. The high resolution digital camera recorded the whole injection process.
