Real‐time multiscale characterization of water migration in deep coal under stepwise pressure‐increasing injection: Combined low‐field nuclear magnetic resonance and multifractal approach

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the real‐time multiscale characterization of water migration in deep coal under stepwise pressure‐increasing injection. Under in‐situ hydrostatic pressure, the water invasion front advances progressively along the axial direction as the injection pressure increases stepwise, tracked in real time by nuclear magnetic ...
