Complex fluid flow in porous media is ubiquitous in many natural and industrial processes.
Direct visualization of the fluid structure and flow dynamics is critical for understanding and …

Liquid invasion into a porous medium is a phenomenon of great importance in both nature
and technology. Despite its enormous importance, there is a surprisingly sparse …

Hydrocarbon production, gas recovery from shale, CO2 storage and water management
have a common scientific underpinning: multiphase flow in porous media. This book …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Hydrogels hold promise in agriculture as reservoirs of water in dry soil, potentially alleviating
the burden of irrigation. However, confinement in soil can markedly reduce the ability of …

During imbibition, initially connected oil is displaced until it is trapped as immobile clusters.
While initial and final states have been well described before, here we image the dynamic …

The macroscopic description of the hysteretic behavior of two‐phase flow in porous media
remains a challenge. It is not obvious how to represent the underlying pore‐scale processes …

Polymer solutions are frequently used in enhanced oil recovery and groundwater
remediation to improve the recovery of trapped nonaqueous fluids. However, applications …

Diverse processes—eg, environmental pollution, groundwater remediation, oil recovery,
filtration, and drug delivery—involve the transport of colloidal particles in porous media …

In recent years, polymer micro/nanogels which are re-crosslinked polymers with 3D
networks, have attracted a lot of interest in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) field. In size of …
