Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments,
provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial …

Understanding and predicting colloid transport and retention in water‐saturated porous
media is important for the protection of human and ecological health. Early applications of …

An understanding of the transport and survival of microbial pathogens (pathogens hereafter)
in agricultural settings is needed to assess the risk of pathogen contamination to water and …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) has been widely
used in petroleum engineering because it can provide detailed pore structural information …

Multiphase displacement in porous media can be adjusted by micro/nanoparticle
suspensions, which is widespread in many scientific and industrial contexts. Direct …

Complex and active fluids find broad applications in flows through porous materials.
Nontrivial rheology can couple to porous microstructure leading to surprising flow patterns …

The fluid flow in natural reservoirs mobilizes fine particles. Subsequent migration and
straining of the mobilized particles in rocks greatly reduce reservoir permeability and well …

The anomalous (ie, non-Fickian) transport characteristics (eg, early arrival/long tailing and
other non-Gaussian plume properties) make it challenging to apply classical transport …

Dissolution and precipitation reactions are the primary mechanisms that occur when a rock
(ie, a mineral assemblage) is in contact with a fluid out of equilibrium. They play a critical …

Nanometer‐scale scanning electron microscopy was applied in visualizing the microscopic
pores within shale kerogen. Geometrical information of all individual pores was extracted by …
