A brief review of capillary number and its use in capillary desaturation curves

H Guo, K Song, R Hilfer - Transport in Porous Media, 2022 - Springer
Capillary number, understood as the ratio of viscous force to capillary force, is one of the
most important parameters in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). It continues to attract the interest …

Flow of water in porous media with saturation overshoot: A review

Y **ong - Journal of Hydrology, 2014 - Elsevier
Different from classic wetting patterns, saturation overshoot (also called saturation-bump or
non-monotonic saturation profile) is widely observed in unsaturated porous media …

Modeling the hysteretic behavior of the capillary pressure in partially saturated porous media: a review

B Albers - Acta Mechanica, 2014 - Springer
In this review, the phenomenology of hysteresis is discussed, including both empirical and
mathematical models, and some examples are presented. The focus lies on soil-moisture …

On an averaged model for immiscible two‐phase flow with surface tension and dynamic contact angle in a thin strip

SB Lunowa, C Bringedal, IS Pop - Studies in Applied …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We consider a model for the flow of two immiscible fluids in a two‐dimensional thin strip of
varying width. This represents an idealization of a pore in a porous medium. The interface …

Spectral discretizations analysis with time strong stability preserving properties for pseudo-parabolic models

E Abreu, A Durán - Computers & Mathematics with Applications, 2021 - Elsevier
In this work, we study the numerical approximation of the initial-boundary-value problem of
nonlinear pseudo-parabolic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We propose a …

On upscaling pore-scale models for two-phase flow with evolving interfaces

S Sharmin, C Bringedal, IS Pop - Advances in Water Resources, 2020 - Elsevier
The modelling and simulation of the unsaturated flow or the flow of two immiscible fluid
phases in a porous medium is challenging as this flow takes place through the pores of the …

A numerical study of two-phase flow models with dynamic capillary pressure and hysteresis

H Zhang, PA Zegeling - Transport in Porous Media, 2017 - Springer
Saturation overshoot and pressure overshoot are studied by incorporating dynamic capillary
pressure, capillary pressure hysteresis and hysteretic dynamic coefficient with a traditional …

Numerical resolution of a pseudo-parabolic Buckley-Leverett model with gravity and dynamic capillary pressure in heterogeneous porous media
