Fluid dynamics in porous media with Sailfish
Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Rodrigo F. Neumann
In this work we show the application of Sailfish to the study of fluid dynamics in porous media. Sailfish is an open-source software based on the lattice-Boltzmann method. This app…
AI powered, automated discovery of polymer membranes for carbon capture
Ronaldo Giro, Hsianghan Hsu, Akihiro Kishimoto +6
The generation of molecules with Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize materials discovery. Potential applications range from development of potent drugs to effic…
High accuracy capillary network representation in digital rock reveals permeability scaling functions
Rodrigo F. Neumann, Mariane Barsi-Andreeta, Everton Lucas-Oliveira +4
Permeability is the key parameter for quantifying fluid flow in porous rocks. Knowledge of the spatial distribution of the connected pore space allows, in principle, to predict the…
A metric for wettability at the nanoscale
Ronaldo Giro, Peter W. Bryant, Michael Engel +2
Wettability is the affinity of a liquid for a solid surface. For energetic reasons, macroscopic drops of liquid are nearly spherical away from interfaces with solids, and any local…
Effects of additives on oil displacement in nanocapillaries: a mesoscale simulation study
Guilherme C. Q. da Silva, Ronaldo Giro, Bruno A. C. Horta +3
We performed mesoscale simulations in order to investigate the effects that additives, such as surfactants and polymers, have in the oil displacement process by water and brine inj…
