Effective permeability of an immiscible fluid in porous media determined from its geometric state
Fatimah Alzubaidi, Peyman Mostaghimi, Yufu Niu +4
Based on the phenomenological extension of Darcy's law, two-fluid flow is dependent on a relative permeability function of saturation only that is process/path dependent with an un…
Relative permeability as a stationary process: energy fluctuations in immiscible displacement
James E. McClure, Ming Fan, Steffen Berg +4
Relative permeability is commonly used to model immiscible fluid flow through porous materials. In this work we derive the relative permeability relationship from conservation of e…
Universal description of wetting on multiscale surfaces using integral geometry
Chenhao Sun, James McClure, Steffen Berg +2
Hypothesis Emerging energy-related technologies deal with multiscale hierarchical structures, intricate surface morphology, non-axisymmetric interfaces, and complex contact lines w…
Capillary fluctuations and energy dynamics for flow in porous media
James E. McClure, Steffen Berg, Ryan T. Armstrong
Capillary energy barriers have important consequences for immiscible fluid flow in porous media. We derive time-and-space averaging theory to account for non-equilibrium behavior a…
Thermodynamics of fluctuations based on time-and-space averages
James E. McClure, Steffen Berg, Ryan T. Armstrong
We develop non-equilibrium theory by using averages in time and space as a generalized way to upscale thermodynamics in non-ergodic systems. The approach offers a classical perspec…
Characterization of wetting using topological principles
Chenhao Sun, James E. McClure, Peyman Mostaghimi +5
Hypothesis Understanding wetting behavior is of great importance for natural systems and technological applications. The traditional concept of contact angle, a purely geometrical…
