Abstract: | The nonuniform space-time pressure and velocity distributions in an initially nonempty stratum with constant initial pressure created by pumping a non-Newtonian fluid through the boundary of the stratum are investigated. The injected fluid and the fluid present in the stratum before injection have identical physical properties. The conditions of formation of traveling fronts and localized structures are analyzed as functions of the nonlinearity of the rheological law of the fluid and the injection regime.Baku.
