Chemical flooding has become an important method to enhance oil recovery in high‐water
cut reservoirs. Crude oil emulsification often occurs during chemical flooding, and it plays a …

When water imbibes into tight rocks, the disconnection of bulk gas phase will significantly
impact the performance of gas recovery. In this work, we have conducted a systematic …

Spontaneous imbibition, as a fundamental flow phenomenon, is widely utilized in fossil
energy production, carbon dioxide and underground hydrogen storage. With the …

Fundamental understanding of capillary rise dynamics and precise evaluation of imbibition
processes should be considered in many natural and industrial phenomena. In the presence …

In this work, theoretical modelling, quasi-three-dimensional (quasi-3D) simulations and
micromodel experiments are conducted to study spontaneous imbibition with gravity in …

A wetting boundary condition for dealing with moving contact lines on complex surfaces is
developed in the lattice Boltzmann color-gradient model. The wetting boundary condition is …

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage have been an effective way to deal with global
climate issues. Injecting CO 2 into depleted oil reservoirs can reach the dual goal of carbon …

Hierarchical porous media possess both high reactive sites and low transport resistance, yet
the limit of the total reaction rate is not clear. In the present study, topology optimization (TO) …

A three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann method, which couples the color-gradient model for
two-phase fluid dynamics with a lattice diffusion-advection scheme for the elastic stress …

In this work, our recently developed weighted-orthogonal multiple-relaxation-time
pseudopotential lattice Boltzmann (PLB) model [J. Tang et al.,“Multiphase flow simulation …
