In this paper, theoretical and experimental approaches to flow, hydrodynamic dispersion,
and miscible and immiscible displacement processes in reservoir rocks are reviewed and …

This brief overview is designed to introduce some of the advances that have occurred in our
understanding of phase transitions and critical phenomena. The presentation is organized …

The use of fractal concepts in understanding various growth phenomena, such as molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE) or fluid flow in porous media, is increasingly important these days. This …

A model for diffusion-controlled aggregation in which growing clusters as well as individual
particles are mobile has been investigated. Two versions of the model in which the cluster …

Measurement of the fractal dimension, D, of colloidal aggregates of small silica particles is
reported. We observe power-law decay of the structure factor [S (k)∼ k− D] by both light and …

Polymers with stickers-and-spacers architectures can drive phase-separation-aided bond
percolation transitions. Here, we present a generalized mean-field model to enable the …

Measurements of viscoelastic properties near the sol-gel transition demonstrate that
viscoelastic phenomena are described by power laws. To describe these phenomena, we …

The dynamics of the sol-gel transition is probed by use of quasielastic light scattering. A type
of critical dynamics is observed that is associated with a divergent friction, rather than a …

Smoluchowski's equation for rapid coagulation is used to describe the kinetics of gelation, in
which the coagulation kernel K ij models the bonding mechanism. For different classes of …
