We developed a new approach comprised of different visualizations for the comparative spatio-temporal analysis of displacement processes in porous media. We aim to analyze and compare ensemble datasets from experiments to gain insight into…

Two-phase flow systems in porous media have complex dynamics. It is well established that a wide range of system parameters like viscosities and porosity as well as flow parameters such as pressure gradient and fluid saturation have strong…

This paper reviews recent research results in two-phase flow in porous media obtained by the authors.

An outstanding characteristic of porous media, desired in many applications, is the large surface area, which facilitates solid-fluid interactions, making porous media an extreme case in colloid and interface science. In two-fluid systems,…

Two-fluid interfaces in porous media, an example of driven disordered systems, were studied by a real time three-dimensional imaging technique with pore scale resolution for a less viscous fluid displacing a more viscous one. With…

We use confocal microscopy to directly visualize the simultaneous flow of both a wetting and a non-wetting fluid through a model three-dimensional (3D) porous medium. We find that, for small flow rates, both fluids flow through unchanging,…

Fluid flow through bimodal porous media, characterized by a distinct separation in pore size distribution, is critical in various scientific and engineering applications, including groundwater management, oil and gas production, and carbon…

We have simulated the temporal evolution of pressure due to capillary and viscous forces in two-phase drainage in porous media. We analyze our result in light of macroscopic flow equations for two-phase flow. We also investigate the effect…

Slow flow of a single fluid through a porous medium is well understood on a macroscopic level through Darcy's law, a linear relation between flow rate and a combination of pressure differences, viscosity, and gravitational forces. Two-phase…

We investigate a two-dimensional network simulator capable of modeling different time dependencies in two-phase drainage displacements. In particular, we focus on the temporal evolution of the pressure due to capillary and viscous forces…

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…

Recent X-ray imaging experiments have revealed that multiphase flow through porous media involves transient fluctuations in local occupancy, even under fixed macroscopic steady-state conditions where capillary forces dominate at the pore…

We use confocal microscopy to directly visualize the spatial fluctuations in fluid flow through a three-dimensional porous medium. We find that the velocity magnitudes and the velocity components both along and transverse to the imposed…

We study average flow properties in porous media using a two-dimensional network simulator. It models the dynamics of two-phase immiscible bulk flow where film flow can be neglected. The boundary conditions are biperiodic which provide a…

We investigate two-phase flow in porous media and derive a two-scale model, which incorporates pore-scale phase distribution and surface tension into the effective behavior at the larger Darcy scale. The free-boundary problem at the pore…

We study the question of how visual analysis can support the comparison of spatio-temporal ensemble data of liquid and gas flow in porous media. To this end, we focus on a case study, in which nine different research groups concurrently…

Scalar features in time-dependent fluid flow are traditionally visualized using 3D representation, and their topology changes over time are often conveyed with abstract graphs. Using such techniques, however, the structural details of…

Conceptualizing a porous media as a network of conductors sets a compromise between the oversimplifying conceptualization of the media as a bundle of capillary tubes and the computationally expensive and unobtainable detailed description of…

The established macroscopic equations of motion for two phase immiscible displacement in porous media are known to be physically incomplete because they do not contain the surface tension and surface areas governing capillary phenomena.…

A pore-scale model is introduced for two-phase flow in dense packings of polydisperse spheres. The model is developed as a component of a more general hydromechanical coupling framework based on the discrete element method, which will be…
