Spontaneous imbibition plays an important role in many practical processes, such as oil
recovery, hydrology, and environmental engineering. The development in spontaneous …

The capillary bundle model, wherein the flow dynamics of a porous medium is predicted
from that of a bundle of independent cylindrical tubes/capillaries whose radii are distributed …

Capillary driven displacement of viscous liquids into a porous matrix plays a significant role
in several porous media applications such as fractured oil reservoirs and paper micro-fluidic …

For the work presented herein nickel catalysts supported on γ-alumina extrudates (Ni/Al)
with an egg-shell structure were prepared, using a modified Equilibrium Deposition Filtration …

Traditional approaches to mathematically describe spontaneous imbibition are usually
based on either macro-scale models, such as Richards equation, or simplified pore-scale …

In this work, we investigate the problem of imbibition/drainage of a fluid in capillaries of
arbitrary axisymmetric cross-sections filled initially with another immiscible one. The model …

Displacement-imbibition coupling oil production, which involves adjusting the operations of
a well group (water injection huff and puff in one well, continuous oil production in another …

An analytical expression is derived for the thermal response observed during spontaneous
imbibition of water into a dry core of zeolitic tuff. Sample tortuosity, thermal conductivity, and …

Regulating fluid transport and efficiently controlling imbibition dynamics across the surface
of paper assays may increase the detection sensitivity in medical diagnostic applications …

The soaking stage is vital for oil production after fracturing in tight reservoirs. However, the
roles and contributions of spontaneous imbibition (SI) and forced displacement imbibition …
