Modeling and scaling spontaneous imbibition with generalized fractional flow theory and non-Boltzmann transformation
Shaluka Senevirathna, Anna Zemlyanova, Shaina A. Kelly +3
Spontaneous imbibition (SI) is a process by which liquid is drawn into partially saturated porous media by capillary forces, relevant for subsurface processes like underground flui…
Numerical Simulations of Geomechanical Deformation, Fluid Flow and Reactive Transport in Shale Rough-Walled Microfractures
Morteza Heydari, Feng Liang, Hui-Hai Liu +1
Improving hydrocarbon production with hydraulic fracturing from unconventional reservoirs requires investigating transport phenomena at the single fracture level. In this study, we…
Theoretical bounds for the exponent in the empirical power-law advance-time curve for surface flow
Behzad Ghanbarian, Hamed Ebrahimian, Allen G. Hunt +1
A fundamental and widely applied concept used to study surface flow processes is the advance-time curve characterized by an empirical power law with an exponent r and a numerical p…
Hysteretic behavior of electrical conductivity in packings of particles
Behzad Ghanbarian, Muhammad Sahimi
We address the problem of predicting saturation-dependent electrical conductivity σ in packings of spheres during drainage and imbibition. The effective-medium approximation (EMA)…
Solute transport predicts scaling of surface reaction rates in porous media: Applications to silicate weathering
Allen G. Hunt, Thomas E. Skinner, Behzad Ghanbarian
We apply our theory of conservative solute transport, based on concepts from percolation theory, directly and without modification to reactive solute transport. This theory has pre…
