Abstract
Random labyrinthine patterns have been shown to emerge during slow drainage of granular-fluid systems in twodimensional confinement. We investigate this process under the influence of a gravitational field; that is to say in a tilted system. The isotropy of the labyrinthine pattern is broken. Instead the system is drained from one side, and a front is identified and studied. The front width varies with tilt angle and volume fraction of grains. Furthermore, the pattern is, based on appearance, found to fall into different categories: aligned with gravitation, random on a short scale, or transverse to gravitation. We propose a parameter to quantify the pattern appearance.
