A related problem is viscous fingering, observed most conveniently at the interface of two liquids between two glass plates. For two miscible liquids, like gelatin and water, a DLA- like structure appears when one liquid invades the other .... This growth process is the result of a hydrodynamic instability between the liquids. As in DLA, any small "bump" on the interface will tend to grow predominantly at the tips because the pressure gradient, which drives the growth, is largest at the tips. 2, record 1, English, - viscous%20fingering

The basic materials for most reactor fuel elements are of three types: metallic fuels contain uranium metal or uranium metal alloys; ceramic fuels are sintered compacts of uranium compounds such as uranium dioxide and uranium carbide; and cermets are dispersions of uranium compounds in a metal matrix. 6, record 2, English, - pellet

Ces bâtonnets, appelés aussi «compacts» sont placés dans des briques prismatiques en graphite de 80 cm de haut à base hexagonale de 36 cm sur plats. [...] Par contre, une autre technique a été utilisée dans les réacteurs allemands, où le combustible se présente sous forme sphérique.

Para el funcionamiento de la mayor parte de los reactores nucleares se utiliza un combustible llamado uranio enriquecido. A este mineral se le someta a diferentes procesos para lograr que llegue a contener aproximadamente el 3% de núcleos de uranio 235, que son los que darán lugar a la reacción en cadena. El combustible nuclear se prepara en forma de pastillas. Estas pastillas de combustible se colocan en unos tubos inoxidables y después en el núcleo del reactor. 6, record 2, Spanish, - pastilla
