Drying of porous media by concurrent drainage and evaporation: A pore network modeling study
Haiyi Wu, Chao Fang, Rui Wu +1
Drainage and evaporation can occur simultaneously during the drying of porous media, but the interactions between these processes and their effects on drying are rarely studied. In…

Bubble formation due to capillary instability during evaporation of a porous medium
Tao Zhang, Rui Wu, C. Y. Zhao +2
We show that during evaporation of a pore network, liquid can refill the gas occupied pores, snapping off a gas bubble, which then moves to a stable configuration. This phenomenon…

Pore network model of evaporation in porous media with continuous and discontinuous corner films
Rui Wu, Tao Zhang, Chao Ye +3
During evaporation in porous media, two types of corner films are distinguished. A continuous corner film is connected to the bulk liquid, while a discontinuous one is not. To disc…
