Drainage front width in a three-dimensional random porous medium under gravitational and capillary effects
Paula Reis, Knut Jørgen Måløy
A theoretical approach to estimating stable drainage front widths in three-dimensional random porous media under gravitational and capillary effects is presented. Based on the fron…
Interaction between corner and bulk flows during drainage in granular porous media
Paula Reis, Gaute Linga, Marcel Moura +4
Drainage in porous media can be broken down into two main mechanisms: a primary piston-like displacement of the interfaces through the bulk of pore bodies and throats, and a second…
Visualization by optical fluorescence of two-phase flow in a three-dimensional porous medium
Joachim Falck Brodin, Marcel Moura, Renaud Toussaint +2
Slow flow of a single fluid through a porous medium is well understood on a macroscopic level through Darcy's law, a linear relation between flow rate and a combination of pressure…
How heat controls fracture: the thermodynamics of creeping and avalanching cracks
Tom Vincent-Dospital, Renaud Toussaint, Stéphane Santucci +6
While of paramount importance in material science, the dynamics of cracks still lacks a complete physical explanation. The transition from their slow creep behavior to a fast propa…
Pressure evolution and deformation of confined granular media during pneumatic fracturing
Fredrik Eriksen, Renaud Toussaint, Antoine Turquet +2
By means of digital image correlation, we experimentally characterize the deformation of a dry granular medium confined inside a Hele-Shaw cell due to air injection at a constant o…
Compaction of granular material inside confined geometries
Benjy Marks, Bjørnar Sandnes, Guillaume Dumazer +2
In both nature and engineering, loosely packed granular materials are often compacted inside confined geometries. Here, we explore such behaviour in a quasi-two dimensional geometr…
