Growth morphology and symmetry selection of interfacial instabilities in anisotropic environments
Qing Zhang, Amin Amooie, Martin Z. Bazant +1
The displacement of a fluid by another less viscous one in a quasi-two dimensional geometry typically leads to complex fingering patterns. In an isotropic system, dense-branching g…
Vortices of Electro-osmotic Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
Mohammad Mirzadeh, Tingtao Zhou, Mohammad Amin Amooie +3
Traditional models of electrokinetic transport in porous media are based on homogenized material properties, which neglect any macroscopic effects of microscopic fluctuations. This…
Convective dissolution of carbon dioxide in deep saline aquifers: Insights from engineering a high-pressure porous Hele-Shaw cell
Saeed Mahmoodpour, Behzad Rostami, Mohamad Reza Soltanian +1
We present the first experiments of dissolution-driven convection of carbon dioxide (CO) in a confined brine-saturated porous medium at high pressures. We designed a novel Hele…
Solutal convection in porous media: Comparison between boundary conditions of constant concentration and constant flux
Mohammad Amin Amooie, Mohamad Reza Soltanian, Joachim Moortgat
We numerically examine solutal convection in porous media, driven by the dissolution of carbon dioxide (CO2) into water---an effective mechanism for CO2 storage in saline aquifers.…
