Porous media play important roles in a wide range of scientific and engineering problems.
Recently, with their increasing application in energy conversion and storage devices, such …

Groundwater flow through fractured rocks has been recognized as an important issue in
many geotechnical engineering practices. Several key aspects of fundamental mechanisms …

Fluid–fluid displacement in porous media has been viewed through the lens of Lenormand's
phase diagram since the late 1980s. This diagram suggests that the character of the flow is …

While experimental designs developed in recent decades have contributed to research on
dynamic nonequilibrium effects in transient two-phase flow in porous media, this problem …

Fluid invasion into porous media to displace a more viscous fluid exhibits various
displacement patterns. For such unfavorable displacements, previous works overlooked the …

A new color‐gradient lattice Boltzmann model is developed to simulate spontaneous
imbibition in a porous media micromodel, which needs only two‐dimensional computational …

We report non-monotonic wettability effects on displacement efficiency in heterogeneous
porous structures at the post-breakthrough stage, in contrast to the monotonic ones in …

In this work, theoretical modelling, quasi-three-dimensional (quasi-3D) simulations and
micromodel experiments are conducted to study spontaneous imbibition with gravity in …

We use dual porosity microfluidics and fluorescence microscopy to investigate immiscible
imbibition in the pore networks formed in fractured rocks, and to identify emergent pore …

The flow of multiple immiscible fluids in disordered porous media is important in many
natural processes and subsurface applications. The pore‐scale disorder affects the fluid …
