Capillary fluctuations and energy dynamics for flow in porous media

JE McClure, S Berg, RT Armstrong - Physics of Fluids, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Capillary energy barriers have important consequences for immiscible fluid flow in porous
media. We derive a time-and-space averaging theory to account for the non-equilibrium …

Influence of phase connectivity on the relationship among capillary pressure, fluid saturation, and interfacial area in two-fluid-phase porous medium systems
