Liquid invasion into a porous medium is a phenomenon of great importance in both nature
and technology. Despite its enormous importance, there is a surprisingly sparse …

We imaged the steady state flow of brine and decane in Bentheimer sandstone. We devised
an experimental method based on differential imaging to examine how flow rate impacts …

Synchrotron x-ray microtomography combined with sensitive pressure differential
measurements were used to study flow during steady-state injection of equal volume …

Slow multiphase flow in porous media is intriguing because its underlying dynamics is
almost deterministic, yet depends on a hierarchy of spatiotemporal processes. There has …

Hypothesis Imbibition of a fluid into a porous material involves the invasion of a wetting fluid
in the pore space through piston-like displacement, film and corner flow, snap-off and pore …

Results from a series of two‐phase fluid flow experiments in Leopard, Berea, and
Bentheimer sandstones are presented. Fluid configurations are characterized using …

Relative permeability is commonly used to model immiscible fluid flow through porous
materials. In this work, we derive the relative permeability relationship from conservation of …

Hypothesis Wetting phenomena play a key role in flows through porous media. Relative
permeability and capillary pressure-saturation functions show a high sensitivity to wettability …

Hypothesis Capillary-dominated multiphase flow in porous materials is strongly affected by
the pore walls' wettability. Recent micro-computed tomography (mCT) studies found …

This study investigates the energy signature associated with multiphase flow in porous
media displacement regimes. We proposed that net efficiency, as the conversion of external …
