Statement

Fractures were created by injecting water or silicone oil into transparent gelatine at a constant rate. The plane of fracture growth was illuminated with a thin laser sheet and the injected fluid contained suspended tracer particles that fluoresced in laser light, allowing for visualisation of the internal fluid flow. Fracture and flow evolution were recorded with a camera placed perpendicular to the laser sheet. An optical particle-tracking technique called Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) was applied to the recorded images (using the software DaVis) to get 2D spatial velocity profiles at regular time intervals from fracture initiation to eruption at the surface. A series of Matlab scripts were used to process and analyse the experimental data.
