We study the regularity of solutions to an optimal transportation problem where the dimension of the source is larger than that of the target. We demonstrate that if the target is $c$-convex, then the source has a canonical foliation whose…

The simultaneous presence of liquid and gas in porous media increases flow heterogeneity compared to saturated flows. However, so far the impact of saturation on flow statistics and transport dynamics remained unclear. Here, we develop a…
