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…
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…
ML-LBM: Machine Learning Aided Flow Simulation in Porous Media
Ying Da Wang, Traiwit Chung, Ryan T. Armstrong +1
Simulation of fluid flow in porous media has many applications, from the micro-scale (cell membranes, filters, rocks) to macro-scale (groundwater, hydrocarbon reservoirs, and geoth…
Linking continuum-scale state of wetting to pore-scale contact angles in porous media
Chenhao Sun, James E. McClure, Peyman Mostaghimi +4
Wetting phenomena play a key role in flows through porous media. Relative permeability and capillary pressure-saturation functions show a high sensitivity to wettability, which has…
A geometric state function for two-fluid flow in porous media
James E. McClure, Ryan T. Armstrong, Mark A. Berrill +4
Models that describe two-fluid flow in porous media suffer from a widely-recognized problem that the constitutive relationships used to predict capillary pressure as a function of…
