New capillary number definition for micromodels: The impact of pore microstructure

J Tang, M Smit, S Vincent‐Bonnieu… - Water Resources …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
A new capillary number (Nca) definition is proposed for 2‐D etched micromodels. We derive
the new definition from a force balance on a nonwetting ganglion trapped by capillarity. It …
