Modeling Ostwald Ripening Dynamics in Porous Microstructures
Md Zahidul Islam Laku, Mohammad Salehpour, Tian Lan +2
Partially miscible ganglia trapped in a porous medium evolve through Ostwald ripening, driven by differences in interfacial curvature. In practice, ganglia can span multiple pores…
Characteristics of fluid-fluid displacement in model mixed-wet porous media: patterns, pressures, and scalings
Ashkan Irannezhad, Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Ruben Juanes +1
We study the characteristics of fluid-fluid displacement in simple mixed-wet porous micromodels numerically using a dynamic pore network model. The porous micromodel consists of di…
Wettability alteration in thiolene-based polymer microfluidics: surface characterization and advanced fabrication techniques
Mahtab Masouminia, Kari Dalnoki-Veress, Benzhong Zhao
Wettability plays a significant role in controlling multiphase flow in porous media for many industrial applications, including geologic carbon dioxide sequestration, enhanced oil…
Fluid-fluid displacement in mixed-wet porous media
Ashkan Irannezhad, Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Ruben Juanes +1
It is well-known that wettability exerts fundamental control over multiphase flow in porous media, which has been extensively studied in uniform-wet porous media. In contrast, mult…
Signatures of fluid-fluid displacement in porous media: wettability, patterns, and pressures
Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Amir A. Pahlavan, Xiaojing Fu +3
We develop a novel `moving capacitor' dynamic network model to simulate immiscible fluid-fluid displacement in porous media. Traditional network models approximate the pore geometr…
