Abstract

Summary We present a new pattern formation process where labyrinthine structures emerge during slow drainage of a confined granular-fluid mixture. Capillary and frictional forces govern the process, and the resulting pattern has a characteristic wavelength that is a function of both the initial volume fraction of granular material in the mixture, and also the system thickness.
