Table 2. Variation of the capillary number (Ka) for different experiments on streamer formation. For all the cases, we consider μf ~ 10−3 Pa−s and γ = 0.01 N/m. Also μb ~ 104 Pa−s13, so that μbf = 107. Here we tabulate all the possible Ka corresponding to the different flow rates employed in a given experiment.
