We consider the release from a point source of relatively heavy fluid into a porous saturated medium above an impermeable slope. We consider the case where the volume of the resulting gravity current increases with time like $t^\alpha$ and…
We analyze the mixing, migration and spreading of a gravity current in a heterogeneous porous medium using high-fidelity numerical simulations. Heterogeneity is represented by log-normal permeability fields of varying correlation lengths…
We consider the release and subsequent gravity-driven spreading of a finite volume of fluid in an anisotropic porous medium bounded by an impermeable substrate. When the permeability in the vertical direction is much smaller than the…
In this study, we investigate the appeared complexity of two-phase flow (air/water) in a heterogeneous soil where the supposed porous media is non-deformable media which is under the timedependent gas pressure. After obtaining of governing…

The physical mechanism of CO2 trapping in porous media by capillary trapping (pore scale) incorporates a number of related processes, i.e. residual trapping, trapping due to hysteresis of the relative permeability, and trapping due to…
In this study, over different scenarios we will simulate a week coupling of hydromechanical loads in a long term CO2 injection with a hypothetical reservoir while the effect of pore water pressure and then multi-phase flow procedure has…
In the last decades, significant progress has been made in understanding the multiphase displacement through porous media with homogeneous wettability and its relation to the pore geometry. However, the role of wettability at the scale of…
Upscaling the effect of heterogeneities in porous media is crucial for macroscopic flow predictions, with widespread applications in energy and environmental settings. In this study, we derive expressions for the upscaled flow properties of…
This paper describes the evolution of two-dimensional (2D) gravity currents that flow against a horizontally uniform laminar pulsating flow. We study the effect of opposing mean flow amplitude and the oscillatory velocity amplitude on the…
Carbon dioxide (CO2) injection into saline aquifers is one method of mitigating anthropogenic climate change. To ensure secure storage of this CO2, it is important to understand the interaction of CO2 injection and migration with geological…
We consider a simplified model of a two-phase flow through a heterogeneous porous medium, in which the convection is neglected. This leads to a nonlinear degenerate parabolic problem in a domain shared in an arbitrary finite number of…
In this work we present a new conceptual model to describe fluid flow in a porous media system in presence of a large fault. Geological faults are often modeled simply as interfaces in the rock matrix, but they are complex structure where…
We use novel, fast 4D Synchrotron X-ray imaging with large field-of-view to reveal pore- and macro-scale drainage dynamics during gas-brine flow through a layered sandstone rock sample. We show that a single centimetre-scale layer, similar…
In this work, we derive a new model for immiscible two-layer gas-liquid stratified flows in pipes with general cross sections. The bottom layer is occupied by an incompressible fluid in liquid phase with hydrodynamics based on a hydrostatic…
Multiphase flow in porous media occurs in several disciplines including petroleum reservoir engineering, petroleum systems' analysis, and CO$_2$ sequestration. While simulations often use a fully implicit discretization to increase the time…
Fracture propagation is highly sensitive to the conditions at the crack tip. In heterogeneous materials, microscale obstacles can cause propagation instabilities. Macroscopic heterogeneities modify the stress field over scales larger than…
When neglecting capillarity, two-phase incompressible flow in porous media is modelled as a scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation law. A change in the rock type results in a change of the flux function. Discretizing in one-dimensional…
In this study, we investigate the complexity of two-phase flow (air/water) in a heterogeneous soil sample by using complex network theory, where the supposed porous media is non-deformable media, under the time-dependent gas pressure. Based…
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…
