A role for jasmonates in the release of dormancy by cold stratification in wheat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hydration at low temperatures, commonly referred to as cold stratification, is widely used for releasing dormancy and triggering germination in a wide range of species including wheat.

A Generalized Capillary Imbibition Model for Porous Media in Tight Reservoirs

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2018
Capillary imbibition models have been widely studied in oil and gas development field over the past decades. However, the existing models applied to the tight reservoirs rarely take fluid flow resistance and apparent viscosity into account.

The Spontaneous Imbibition of Micro/Nano Structures in Tight Matrix and the Influence on Imbibition Potential

open access: yesMicromachines, 2020
Tight matrix has relatively low permeability and porosity, with abundant micro/nano pores. The capillary force in these pores are relatively strong, making the wetting liquid easier to be imbibed in the matrix.

Effect of Dynamic Imbibition on the Development of Ultralow Permeability Reservoir

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
To explore the methodology for improving ultralow permeability reservoir recovery, cores of ultralow permeability reservoirs in China’s Ordos Basin were selected to study the dynamic imbibition micromechanism of crude oil in nanopore throat through core ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Critical conditions for the wetting of soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The wettability of soil is of great importance for plants and soil biota and in determining whether flooding and soil erosion will occur. The analysis used in common measurements of soil hydrophobicity makes the assumption that water always enters soils ...

Interface pinning in spontaneous imbibition [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2001
Evaporation and gravity induced pinning in spontaneous imbibition are examined within a phase field formalism. Evaporation is introduced via a nonconserving term and gravity through a convective term that constrains the influx of liquid. Their effects are described by dimensionless coupling constants epsilon and g, respectively.

Effect of electroosmotic flow on brine imbibition in porous media

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2009
Based on Darcy's Law and the Helmholta-Smoluchowski equation, an imbibition velocity formula for the water phase with an electric field was deduced, showing that the imbibition velocity with an electric field is to various extents not only related to the

Imbibition characteristics of sandstone cores with different permeabilities in nanofluids

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2022
The core imbibition and shifting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging experiment has loss of surface oil phase and air adsorption, which will affect the accuracy of the experiment result.

Capillary rise dynamics of liquid hydrocarbons in mesoporous silica as explored by gravimetry, optical and neutron imaging: Nano-rheology and determination of pore size distributions from the shape of imbibition fronts

open access: yes, 2015
We present gravimetrical, optical, and neutron imaging measurements of the capillarity-driven infiltration of mesoporous silica glass by hydrocarbons. Square-root-of-time Lucas-Washburn invasion kinetics are found for linear alkanes from n-decane (C10 ...
