Capillary imbibition plays an essential role in the flow behavior of unconventional reservoirs.
The severe heterogeneity of pore structures in unconventional formations can lead to …

Ultrathin vapor chambers (VCs) are the most typically used heat-sink components in the
development of thin and light electronic products. In this study, microgrooved aluminum …

This paper presents a generalized mathematical model that comprehensively characterizes
the flow behavior of matrix nanopores and natural/hydraulic fractures in tight oil reservoirs …

This study aims to investigate the mechanism behind surfactant enhanced oil recovery
under reservoir conditions through experiments on spontaneous imbibition with surfactants …

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

During the development of tight oil reservoirs, there are significant occurrences of
spontaneous imbibition. Understanding the spontaneous imbibition behavior at the core …

An investigation into spontaneous imbibition in porous media is of paramount scientific
significance in various projects. However, a precise understanding of the interaction …

We study imbibition of a monodisperse emulsion into high-aspect ratio microfluidic channels
with the height h comparable to the droplet diameter d. Two distinct regimes are identified in …

Surfactants are widely used in the fracturing fluid to enhance the imbibition and thus the oil
recovery rate. However, current numerical models cannot capture the physics behind …

Capillarity is prevalent in nature, daily life, and industrial processes, governed by the
fundamental Young–Laplace equation. Solving this equation not only deepens our …
