It is becoming increasingly clear that there is a regime in immiscible two-phase flow in porous media where the flow rate depends of the pressure drop as a power law with exponent different than one. This occurs when the capillary forces…
In this paper, we consider unsaturated poroelasticity, i.e., coupled hydro-mechanical processes in unsaturated porous media, modeled by a non-linear extension of Biot's quasi-static consolidation model. The coupled, elliptic-parabolic…
We show that the widely used model governing the motion of two incompressible immiscible fluids in a possibly heterogeneous porous medium has a formal gradient flow structure. More precisely, the fluid composition is governed by the…
The viscous flow of two immiscible fluids in a porous medium on the Darcy scale is governed by a system of nonlinear parabolic equations. If infinite mobility of one phase can be assumed (e.g. in soil layers in contact with the atmosphere)…

A fundamental variable characterizing immiscible two-phase flow in porous media is the wetting saturation, which is the ratio between the pore volume filled with wetting fluid and the total pore volume. More generally, this variable comes…

We analyze a diffuse interface model for multi-phase flows of $N$ incompressible, viscous Newtonian fluids with different densities. In the case of a bounded and sufficiently smooth domain existence of weak solutions in two and three space…
We present a continuum (i.e., an effective) description of immiscible two-phase flow in porous media characterized by two fields, the pressure and the saturation. Gradients in these two fields are the driving forces that move the immiscible…
We prove the existence of weak solutions to a viscoelastic phase separation problem in two space dimensions. The mathematical model consists of a Cahn-Hilliard-type equation for two-phase flows and the Peterlin-Navier-Stokes equations for…
Liquid-gas phase transition in statistical mechanics is a long-standing dilemma not yet well explained. In this paper we propose a novel approach to this dilemma, by: 1). Putting forth a new space homogeneity assumption. 2). Giving a new…
