Fluid flow and mass transport in geological materials are crucial in diverse Earth science applications. To fully understand the behavior of geological materials in this context, the …
Hydrocarbon production, gas recovery from shale, CO2 storage and water management have a common scientific underpinning: multiphase flow in porous media. This book …
Understanding the pore-scale dynamics of two-phase fluid flow in permeable media is important in many processes such as water infiltration in soils, oil recovery, and geo …
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is frequently used for non-destructive testing with many applications in a wide range of scientific research areas. The difference in imaging speeds …
Hypothesis The wetting behaviour is a key property of a porous medium that controls hydraulic conductivity in multiphase flow. While many porous materials, such as …
Darcy‐scale multiphase flow in geological formations is significantly influenced by the wettability of the fluid‐solid system. So far it has not been understood how wettability impacts …

Slow multiphase flow in porous media is intriguing because its underlying dynamics is almost deterministic, yet depends on a hierarchy of spatiotemporal processes. There has …
Hypothesis Imbibition of a fluid into a porous material involves the invasion of a wetting fluid in the pore space through piston-like displacement, film and corner flow, snap-off and pore …
