Capillary pressure plays a fundamental role for the characterization and development of oil
and gas reservoirs. Traditionally, the capillary pressure measured in equilibrium state is …

A mathematical model is presented for advective-diffusive-reactive solute transport due to
non-Newtonian fluid flows in a fracture surrounded by a tight porous medium. The …

An increasing number of technologies require prediction of unsteady forced convection in
porous media when the inlet flow is unsteady. To gain further insight into this problem, the …

Fluid flow in porous media is very important in a wide range of hydraulic and geotechnical
engineering fields. The theoretical basis of fluid flow in porous media is based on the …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) by solvent injection offers significant potential to increase
recovery from shale oil reservoirs, which is typically between 3 and 7% original oil in place …

Low-permeability coalbed-methane (CBM) reservoirs possess unique pressure-propagation
behavior, which can be classified further as the expansion characteristics of the drainage …

The pore structure and mineral composition play a crucial role in controlling the water flow
behaviors of low-permeability media, which is characterized by threshold pressure gradient …

Pre-Darcy flow is widely found in many naturally porous media, such as low-permeability
clay. Nonflowing liquid boundary layers strongly influence fluid flow in low-permeability …

The movability of water in shale nanopores intensely affects the transport and storage of
other fluids and plays an important role in the geological water cycle. To investigate the …

It is a well-established fact that mineral matter in actual ultra-tight gas reservoirs presents a
strong affinity for water. However, the presence of water within nanopores has not drawn …
