A Novel Model of Counter-Current Imbibition in Interacting Capillaries with Different Size Distribution

Energies, 2022
The imbibition phenomenon widely exists in nature and industrial applications. It is of great significance to study the mechanism of imbibition and the influence laws of related factors.

Yield stress fluids solidifying in capillary imbibition

Journal of Fluid Mechanics
When subjected to external stress exceeding their yield stress ( $\sigma _{Y}$ ), yield stress fluids (YSFs) undergo transition from solid to liquid. While the flow dynamics of capillary flows – including wetting, coating, spreading, and wicking – can be predicted accurately for fluids without yield stress, only a few ...

Shale Formation Damage during Fracturing Fluid Imbibition and Flowback Process Considering Adsorbed Methane

Energies, 2022
Hydraulic fracturing of shale gas reservoirs is characterized by large fracturing fluid consumption, long working cycle and low flowback efficiency. Huge amounts of fracturing fluid retained in shale reservoirs for a long time would definitely cause ...

Imbibition in Disordered Media

, 2004
The physics of liquids in porous media gives rise to many interesting phenomena, including imbibition where a viscous fluid displaces a less viscous one. Here we discuss the theoretical and experimental progress made in recent years in this field.

Hydrodynamic Equilibrium Simulation and Shut-in Time Optimization for Hydraulically Fractured Shale Gas Wells

Energies, 2020
Post-fracturing well shut-in is traditionally due to the elastic closure of hydraulic fractures and proppant compaction. However, for shale gas wells, the extension of shut-in time may improve the post-fracturing gas production due to formation energy ...

Avalanches in strong imbibition

Communications Physics, 2022
Drainage and imbibition in porous media are two opposite fluid displacement scenarios with remarkably different underlying mechanisms. Here, the authors demonstrate that strong imbibition in porous media shows features of self-organized criticality ...

Forced Imbibition - a Tool for Determining Laplace Pressure, Drag Force and Slip Length in Capillary Filling Experiments

, 2007
When a very thin capillary is inserted into a liquid, the liquid is sucked into it: this imbibition process is controlled by a balance of capillary and drag forces, which are hard to quantify experimentally, in particularly considering flow on the ...

Scaling of Imbibition Front Dynamics in Heterogeneous Porous Media

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
We report a quantitative study on the dynamics of countercurrent imbibition in fractured rock samples with the application of CO2 geosequestration, as the rock matrix is saturated with CO2 and brine exists in the adjacent microfracture. Direct pore‐scale
