Due to the fracturing fluid imbibition and primary water, oil–water two-phase fluids generally
exist in shale nanoporous media. The effects of water phase on shale oil recovery and …

In this paper, we develop a numerical model for simulating the solid-liquid-gas three-phase
flow in unconsolidated particle layers. Based on the discrete element method (DEM) and the …

Due to intermolecular interactions, the oil/water two-phase flow behaviors in shale
nanoporous media are complex and diverse, which cannot be characterized by a …

A wetting boundary condition for dealing with moving contact lines on complex surfaces is
developed in the lattice Boltzmann color-gradient model. The wetting boundary condition is …

In this work, a hybrid method combining interparticle-potential multiphase LBM, finite
difference method and characteristic-line wetting scheme, is developed for pore-scale …

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage have been an effective way to deal with global
climate issues. Injecting CO 2 into depleted oil reservoirs can reach the dual goal of carbon …

Three-phase displacement process in a porous media is significantly influenced by
wettability of the solid surfaces. It remains a research challenge to model and simulate three …

Three-phase flows through a pore network of Berea sandstone are studied numerically
under critical interfacial tension conditions. Results show that the relative permeability of …

Coupled three-phase flow and reactive transport processes are widely encountered in many
scientific and engineering problems. In the present study, a pore-scale model based on the …

To realize the transition of our society to a low-carbon future with innovative subsurface
energy solutions, understanding the dynamic behavior of gas invading multi-fluid systems in …
