Intermittent two-phase flow in porous media: insights from pore-scale direct numerical simulation
Alexandra Karabasova, Sajjad Foroughi, Martin J. Blunt +1
Recent X-ray imaging experiments have revealed that multiphase flow through porous media involves transient fluctuations in local occupancy, even under fixed macroscopic steady-sta…
Time-dependent pore-network modelling of Ostwald ripening in porous media
Ademola Isaac Adebimpe, Sajjad Foroughi, Branko Bijeljic +1
We present a time-dependent pore-network model that couples transient mass transfer in the aqueous phase, capillary pressure heterogeneity, and realistic pore-throat geometries to…
Pore-Scale Dynamics of Multiphase Reactive Transport in Water-Wet Carbonates under CO2-Acidified Brine Injection: Dissolution Patterns and Reaction Rates
Qianqian Ma, Rukuan Chai, Sajjad Foroughi +3
Depleted carbonate hydrocarbon reservoirs are promising sites for geological CO2 storage, yet the presence of residual hydrocarbons introduces complex pore-scale interactions that…
Spatially Distributed Wettability Characterization in Porous Media
Faisal Aljaberi, Hadi Belhaj, Sajjad Foroughi +2
An enhanced geometric algorithm for automated pore-by-pore contact angle measurement from micro-CT images, is presented that achieves superior accuracy compared to existing methods…
