The flow of shear-thinning fluids through unconsolidated porous media is present in a
number of important industrial applications such as soil depollution, Enhanced Oil Recovery …

The viscosity exhibited by shear-thinning fluids within the interstices of a porous medium
differs depending on pore dimensions and injection velocity. Therefore, predicting the …

Many natural phenomena in geophysics and hydrogeology involve the flow of non‐
Newtonian fluids through natural rough‐walled fractures. Therefore, there is considerable …

This work presents a novel technique consisting in the use of yield stress fluids as blocking
agents in porous media presenting pore-scale heterogeneities. The key feature of this …

Abstract Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP) is still today the reference porosimetry
technique despite its environmental health and safety concerns. As a safe alternative, the …

Abstract Knowledge of the pore-scale physics of underground multiphase flows is essential
to devise efficient soil remediation methods. However, the immiscible displacement of …

Due to the spatial network structure, heavy oil has a high threshold pressure gradient when
it flows through porous media, and the threshold pressure gradient plays a crucial role in the …

A large number of complex fluids commonly used in industry exhibit yield stress, eg,
concentrated polymer solutions, waxy crude oils, emulsions, colloid suspensions and foams …

The pore space characteristics of geological materials are closely related to their
mechanical, transport and hydraulic properties. In geomorphology, pore size distribution …

We demonstrate a simple, cheap method for pore size characterization of porous media that
generates a distribution of pore radii for improved flow and transport modeling. The new …
