Carbon dioxide (CO 2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in carbonate reservoirs is regarded as
a promising EOR technology. However, the oil recovery factor of CO 2 EOR is low due to the …

The use of X-ray microtomographic (XMT) methods in analysing particulate systems has
expanded rapidly in recent years with the availability of affordable desk-top apparatus. This …

Imaging the distribution of porosity, permeability, and fluid phases is important to
understanding single and multiphase flow characteristics of porous media. X-ray computed …

Water generally plays a harmful role in the stability of mudstone and has induced many
geological disasters in mudrock strata. To visually examine water-induced deterioration of …

The physics of water imbibition into initially unsaturated sandstone is critical to the
understanding of displacement processes and fluid transport in the vadose zone. The …

This paper reports on a transient model of coupled heat and moisture transfer through
fibrous insulation, which for the first time takes into account of evaporation and mobile …

X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) combined with CsCl enhancing was applied for the
first time to the investigation of water transport in hardened cement paste. The results show …

The damage process of cement pastes exposed to different sulfate solutions (sodium sulfate
solution, magnesium sulfate solution, a mixed solution of sodium sulfate and sodium …

The diffusion pathways of porous sandstone were examined by a three-dimensional (3-D)
imaging technique based on X-ray computed tomography (CT) using the SPring-8 (Super …

A fully coupled hydrological–mechanical–chemical (HMC) model is developed and applied
to explain enigmatic spontaneous changes in permeability that develop within a fracture in …
