Abstract
The evolution of fluid interfaces in parallel flow in Hele-Shaw cells is studied theoretically and experimentally in the limit of large capillary number. It is shown that such interfaces support wave motion, the amplitude of which for long waves is governed by a set of Korteweg--de Vries and Airy equations. Experiments conducted in a long Hele-Shaw cell validate the theory in the symmetric case.
