Mixing and reaction kinetics in porous media: An experimental pore scale quantification

P Anna, J Jimenez-Martinez, H Tabuteau… - … science & technology, 2014 - ACS Publications
We propose a new experimental set up to characterize mixing and reactive transport in
porous media with a high spatial resolution at the pore scale. The analogous porous …

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 …

Impact of velocity correlation and distribution on transport in fractured media: Field evidence and theoretical model

PK Kang, T Le Borgne, M Dentz… - Water Resources …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library

Scaling of convective mixing in porous media

JJ Hidalgo, J Fe, L Cueto-Felgueroso, R Juanes - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
Convective mixing in porous media is triggered by a Rayleigh-Bénard-type hydrodynamic
