Spontaneous imbibition is significantly influenced by rock wettability, and it has been
extensively studied in core-based experiments and numerical simulations owing to its …

An increasing focus was placed in the past few decades on accelerating flash calculations
and a variety of acceleration strategies have been developed to improve its efficiency …

As common physical phenomena in porous media, capillarity behaviors exist in many
engineering applications and natural science fields. The experimental, theoretical and …

Coupled pressure-driven (viscous) flow and spontaneous imbibition are the main regimes
during shale oil production. Revealing the unclear mechanisms of this coupled flow is a …

Low-salinity water flooding has become a significant way to develop carbonate reservoirs in
recent years. Clarifying the micro-flow mechanism of low-salinity water flooding (LSWF) on …

In the exploitation of tight oil and gas reservoirs, multi-stage hydraulic fracturing technology
is mainly used and a complex system of fractures and matrix is formed after fracturing. In the …

Fluid-fluid momentum transfer can cause higher flow resistance when fluids flow in opposite
directions as compared to the same direction. Conventional modelling of flow in porous …

Counter-current 1D spontaneous imbibition in scaled form is investigated using Boltzmann
transform before and after water meets the closed boundary (early and late time). At early …

Water huff-n-puff has been considered as a cost-effective method to enhance oil recovery in
tight reservoirs. However, the physical simulation method for water huff-n-puff is still lacking …
