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 …

The energized hydraulic fracturing technology of “energizing, hydraulic fracturing, shut-in,
and flowback” has achieved good development results in some shale oil fields. The …

Accurate characterization of surface roughness and understanding its influence on
multiphase flow behavior are important for industrial and environmental applications such as …

Fluid flow in porous media is affected by surface characteristics such as roughness and
topography. In this work, to simulate the surface of natural porous structures in transparent …

The multiphase distribution and transport properties in porous media are strongly influenced
by capillary pressure and rock–fluid interactions. The influence of nano-scale wetting film …

Surface roughness is ubiquitous in subsurface formations due to weathering and
diagenesis. Yet micromodel studies of porous media have not sufficiently addressed the …

Despite the success of hydrocarbon production from unconventional shale reservoirs, the
physical processes controlling the production are not yet fully understood. The wettability …

We imaged the pore-scale distribution of air and water within packed columns of glass
spheres of different textures using x-ray microcomputed tomography after primary drainage …

Capillary rise, where liquid climbs narrow spaces against gravity, plays an important role in
both natural and technological processes. This study investigates capillary wetting in …

Tube radial distribution flow (TRDF) with inner and outer phases has been previously
created through phase transformation of two-phase separation mixed solutions in a micro …
