Wettability and Lenormand's diagram
Fluid–fluid displacement in porous media has been viewed through the lens of Lenormand's
phase diagram since the late 1980s. This diagram suggests that the character of the flow is …

Wettability stabilizes fluid invasion into porous media via nonlocal, cooperative pore filling
R Holtzman, E Segre - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
We study the impact of the wetting properties on the immiscible displacement of a viscous
fluid in disordered porous media. We present a novel pore-scale model that captures …

Stabilizing fluid-fluid displacements in porous media through wettability alteration
We study experimentally how wettability impacts fluid-fluid-displacement patterns in granular
media. We inject a low-viscosity fluid (air) into a thin bed of glass beads initially saturated …

Suppressing viscous fingering in structured porous media
Finger-like protrusions that form along fluid− fluid displacement fronts in porous media are
often excited by hydrodynamic instability when low-viscosity fluids displace high-viscosity …

Challenges in modeling unstable two‐phase flow experiments in porous micromodels
A Ferrari, J Jimenez‐Martinez… - Water Resources …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The simulation of unstable invasion patterns in porous media flow is very challenging
because small perturbations are amplified, so that slight differences in geometry or initial …

Effects of pore-scale disorder on fluid displacement in partially-wettable porous media
R Holtzman - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
We present a systematic, quantitative assessment of the impact of pore size disorder and its
interplay with flow rates and wettability on immiscible displacement of a viscous fluid. Pore …

Pore dynamics in lipid membranes
I Gozen, P Dommersnes - The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2014 - Springer
Transient circular pores can open in plasma membrane of cells due to mechanical stress,
and failure to repair such pores lead to cell death. Similar pores in the form of defects also …
