Yield-stress is a problematic and controversial non-Newtonian flow phenomenon. In this article, we investigate the flow of yield-stress substances through porous media within the framework of pore-scale network modeling. We also investigate…
Yield-stress fluid flow through porous media is governed by a strong coupling between rheology and pore-scale geometry, leading to nonlinear, non-Darcy transport and pronounced channelisation near yielding. We develop a pore-network model…
A theoretical and computational study analysing the initiation of yield-stress fluids percolation in porous media is presented. Yield-stress fluid flows through porous media are complicated due to the non-linear rheological behaviour of…
In this paper, we address the issue of threshold yield pressure of yield-stress materials in rigid networks of interconnected conduits and porous structures subject to a pressure gradient. We compare the results as obtained dynamically from…
We derive an expression for the velocity profile of a pressure-driven yield-stress fluid flow-ing around a two-dimensional concentric annulus. This result allows the prediction of the effects of channel curvature on the pressure gradient…
We develop a one-dimensional network model to predict the steady-state distribution of yield-stress fluids in branched pipe manifolds under wall-slip conditions. The model accounts for major friction losses between junctions and…
A theoretical and numerical study of complex sliding flows of yield-stress fluids is presented. Yield-stress fluids are known to slide over solid surfaces if the tangential stress exceeds the {\it sliding yield stress}. The sliding may…
Yield design formulation for porous media subjected to flow, using approximate pressure field. We attempt here to use the kinematic method of yield design in the case of a porous medium subjected to flow (with or without free surface),…
We consider the stability of a porous medium submitted to a steady-state flow with free-boundary. Assuming some hypotheses, it is possible to implement the kinematic method by using an approximate pressure field bounding the true pressure…
Predicting the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous structure is still a challenging issue due to the interplay betwen the microscopic disorder and the non-linear rheology. In this letter, we study the case of an yield stress fluid in a…
We study the flow of a Bingham yield-stress fluid in a pore network model where the throats have radii drawn from a uniform distribution. We consider the case in which a fraction of the largest radii is blocked. The fluid can flow only…
Normal stresses in complex fluids lead to new flow phenomena because they can be comparable to or even larger than the shear stress itself. In addition, they are of paramount importance for formulating and testing constitutive equations for…
In this paper we investigate the yield condition in the mobilization of yield-stress materials in distensible tubes. We discuss the two possibilities for modeling the yield-stress materials prior to yield: solid-like materials and…
The flow of non-Newtonian fluids is ubiquitous in many applications in the geological and industrial context. We focus here on yield stress fluids (YSF), i.e. a material that requires minimal stress to flow. We study numerically the flow of…
A numerical study of yield-stress fluids flowing in porous media is presented. The porous media is randomly constructed by non-overlapping mono-dispersed circular obstacles. Two class of rheological models are investigated:…
The ubiquitous wall slip behavior of viscoplastic fluids renders the analysis of their steady torsional flow data to determine their yield stress and other parameters of their shear viscosity material function challenging. Roughened…
Understanding processes in porous media is fundamental to a broad spectrum of environmental, energy, and geoscience applications. These processes include multiphase fluid transport, interfacial dynamics, reactive transformations, and…
A part of non-Newtonian fluids are yield stress fluids. They require a minimum stress to flow. Below this minimum value, yield stress fluids remain solid. To date, 1D and 2D numerical models have been used predominantly to study free…
Understanding the flow of yield stress fluids in porous media is a major challenge. In particular, experiments and extensive numerical simulations report a non-linear Darcy law as a function of the pressure gradient. In this letter, we…
Faults and geological barriers can drastically affect the flow patterns in porous media. Such fractures can be modeled as interfaces that interact with the surrounding matrix. We propose a new technique for the estimation of the location…
