Elastic turbulence generates anomalous flow resistance in porous media
Christopher A. Browne, Sujit S. Datta
Diverse processes rely on the viscous flow of polymer solutions through porous media. In many cases, the macroscopic flow resistance abruptly increases above a threshold flow rate…
Forced Imbibition in Stratified Porous Media
Nancy B. Lu, Amir A. Pahlavan, Christopher A. Browne +3
Imbibition plays a central role in diverse energy, environmental, and industrial processes. In many cases, the medium has multiple parallel strata of different permeabilities; howe…
Bistability in the Unstable Flow of Polymer Solutions Through Porous Media
Christopher A. Browne, Audrey Shih, Sujit S. Datta
Polymer solutions are often injected in porous media for applications such as oil recovery and groundwater remediation. As the fluid navigates the tortuous pore space, elastic stre…
