Capillarity-Driven Oil Flow in Nanopores: Darcy Scale Analysis of Lucas-Washburn Imbibition Dynamics
Simon Gruener, Patrick Huber
We present gravimetrical and optical imaging experiments on the capillarity-driven imbibition of silicone oils in monolithic silica glasses traversed by 3D networks of pores (mesop…
Anomalous Front Broadening During Spontaneous Imbibition in a Matrix with Elongated Pores
Simon Gruener, Zeinab Sadjadi, Helen E. Hermes +4
During spontaneous imbibition a wetting liquid is drawn into a porous medium by capillary forces. In systems with comparable pore length and diameter, such as paper and sand, the f…
Imbibition in mesoporous silica: rheological concepts and experiments on water and a liquid crystal
Simon Gruener, Patrick Huber
We present, along with some fundamental concepts regarding imbibition of liquids in porous hosts, an experimental, gravimetric study on the capillarity-driven invasion dynamics of…
Capillary Rise and Imbibition of Liquids in Nanoporous Matrices: Rheological Concepts and Experiments
Simon Gruener, Patrick Huber
Liquid flow propelled by capillary forces is one of the most important transport mechanisms in porous environments. It is governed by a fascinating interplay of interfacial, viscou…
