Getting out of a tight spot: Cooperative unclogging of hydrogel particles in disordered porous media
Sanjana Kamath, Laurent Talon, Meera Ramaswamy +2
We use event-driven pore network modeling to study the transport of hydrogel particles through disordered porous media -- a process that underlies diverse applications. By simulati…

Fluid drainage in erodible porous media
Joanna Schneider, Christopher A. Browne, Malcolm Slutzky +3
Drainage, in which a nonwetting fluid displaces a wetting fluid from a porous medium, is well-studied for media with unchanging solid surfaces. However, many media can be eroded by…

Elastic turbulence homogenizes fluid transport in stratified porous media
Christopher A. Browne, Richard B. Huang, Callie W. Zheng +1
Many key environmental, industrial, and energy processes rely on controlling fluid transport within subsurface porous media. These media are typically structurally heterogeneous, o…
