Interface instability of two-phase flow in a three-dimensional porous medium
Joachim Falck Brodin, Kevin Pierce, Paula Reis +4
We present an experimental study of immiscible, two-phase fluid flow through a three-dimensional porous medium consisting of randomly-packed, monodisperse glass spheres. Our experi…
Stable and unstable capillary fingering in porous media with a gradient in grains size
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Marcel Moura, Renaud Toussaint +1
We present a theoretical and experimental investigation of slow drainage in porous media with a gradient in the grains size (and hence in the typical pores' throats), in an externa…
Thermal dissipation as both the strength and weakness of matter. A material failure prediction by monitoring creep
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Alain Cochard +2
In any domain involving some stressed solids, that is, from seismology to general engineering, the strength of matter is a paramount feature to understand. We here discuss the abil…
Biphasic flow: structure and upscaling, consequences on macroscopic transport properties
Renaud Toussaint, Knut Jørgen Måløy, Yves Méheust +4
In disordered porous media, two-phase flow of immiscible fluids (biphasic flow) is organized in patterns that sometimes exhibit fractal geometries over a range of length scales, de…
Influence of pore-scale disorder on viscous fingering during drainage
Renaud Toussaint, Grunde Løvoll, Yves Méheust +2
We study viscous fingering during drainage experiments in linear Hele-Shaw cells filled with a random porous medium. The central zone of the cell is found to be statistically more…
