This work reviews the transient two-phase flow in porous media with engineering
applications in Geotechnics. It initially overviews constitutive relationships, conventional …

Coalbed methane (CBM), once a hazard to the undermining safety, is becoming an
important addition to the global energy supply. Injecting carbon dioxide (CO _ 2)(CO 2) into …

Spontaneous, counter‐current imbibition (SI) is a key mechanism in many multiphase flow
processes, such as cleanup of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs), bioremediation, or CO2 …

Enhanced oil production from naturally-fractured low-permeability reservoirs is challenging.
Spontaneous countercurrent imbibition in such reservoirs is an important oil recovery …

While experimental designs developed in recent decades have contributed to research on
dynamic nonequilibrium effects in transient two-phase flow in porous media, this problem …

Thermal recovery methods such as steam injection or in-situ combustion are preferred for
heavy oil. In cold environments, wellbore heat losses are significant and limit the …

Spontaneous imbibition (SI) is a key process in many petrophysical applications, ranging
from the mass transfer in fractured reservoirs during a waterflood to wettability …

With estimated shale gas resources greater than those of US and Canada combined, China
has been embarking on an ambitious shale development program. However, nearly 30 …

Spontaneous imbibition is an important mechanism in naturally fractured reservoirs. Efforts
were made to study matrix-fracture interaction where matrix blocks are surrounded by water …

Spontaneous imbibition is one of the mechanisms proposed to reveal the fate of fluids used
during fracturing operations in shale reservoirs. However, the influence of salinity and …
