4 Introducton Cactus Pumpkn Fascnatng complex patterns and shapes & nterestng undulatng surface morphology In plants, nterestng undulatng surface morphology s often observed across a large scale Phyllotaxs: (namely the arrangement of phylla) has ntrgued natural scentsts for over 400 years

5 Introducton Queston: What are the physcal mechansms of ths natural structure deformaton? How to explan the mechansm of flower openng and closure? How to explan the morphogeness of the natural growth of some leaves, flowers and vescles? The challenge: How to provde a ratonal explanaton for the formaton of such patterns, a mechansm or combnaton of mechansms whch capture natural phenomena Many natural tssues of plants and anmals are to some extent polymerc gels. Polymerc gel theory may be used to explan the formaton of phyllotactc patterns at plant Varous phyllotactc lattce and tlng patterns Newell et al, J. Theoy. Bol. 5, 008

6 Introducton What s Gel? Gel= elastomer + solvent Elastcty: long polymers are cross-lnked by strong bonds. Fludty: polymers and solvent molecules aggregate by weak bonds. solvent reversble + Stmul: Physcal --T, electrcal, lght, pressure Chemcal--pH, ons.. polymers gel Jelly ~ 0000% volumetrc change Polyelectrolyte gels

9 Gellng System n Ol Well Introducton. Watered-out zone separated from an ol zone by an mpermeable shale barrer-the soluton s to cement n bottom zone.. Shale doesn't reach to producton well. Soluton s nject gel nto the lower zone. 3 Watered-out hgh permeablty 3. Watered out hgh permeablty zone sandwched between two ol zones-the soluton s to solate the zone and nject gel

10 Introducton Challenges of Gel Applcatons. A lack of understandng of the relatonshp between gel composton and response knetcs. The majorty of prevous research efforts of gel are expermental-based 3. More complex shapes are requred and the accurate dmensonal measurements of ther volume transton behavors are not convenent n expermental analyss 4. A lack of completed analytcal theory for Gel 5 Th d f l f b d l d l ll h b 5. The predcton of gel performance by modelng and smulaton wll thus be crtcal for understandng the characterstcs of gel
