Pore-scale Modelling of Gravity-driven Drainage in Disordered Porous Media
Guanzhe Cui, Mingchao Liu, Weijing Dai +1
Multiphase flow through a porous medium involves complex interactions between gravity, wettability and capillarity during drainage process. In contrast to these factors, the effect…
The effects of packing structure on the effective thermal conductivity of granular media: A grain scale investigation
Weijing Dai, Dorian Hanaor, Yixiang Gan
Structural characteristics are considered to be the dominant factors in determining the effective properties of granular media, particularly in the scope of transport phenomena. To…
Modes of wall induced granular crystallisation in vibrational packing
Weijing Dai, Joerg Reimann, Dorian Hanaor +2
Granular crystallisation is an important phenomenon whereby ordered packing structures form in granular matter under vibration. However, compared with the well-developed principles…
Modelling imbibition processes in heterogeneous porous media
Si Suo, Mingchao Liu, Yixiang Gan
Imbibition is a commonly encountered multiphase problem in various fields, and exact prediction of imbibition processes is a key issue for better understanding capillary flow in he…
A Modified Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Approach for Modelling Dynamic Contact Angle Hysteresis
Yanyao Bao, Ling Li, Luming Shen +2
Dynamic wetting plays an important role in the physics of multiphase flow, and has significant influence on many industrial and geotechnical applications. In this work, a modified…
Dynamics of Viscous Entrapped Saturated Zones in Partially Wetted Porous Media
Shuoqi Li, Mingchao Liu, Dorian Hanaor +1
As a typical multiphase fluid flow process, drainage in porous media is of fundamental interest in nature and industrial applications. During drainage processes in unsaturated soil…
