Microfluidic systems for the analysis of the viscoelastic fluid flow phenomena in porous media [PDF]
In this study, two microfluidic devices are proposed as simplified 1-D microfluidic analogues of a porous medium. The objectives are twofold: firstly to assess the usefulness of the microchannels to mimic the porous medium in a controlled and simplified ...

Quenching for Porous Medium Equations
This paper studies the following two porous medium equations with singular boundary conditions. First, we obtain that finite time quenching on the boundary, as well as kt blows up at the same finite time and lower bound estimates of the quenching time of the equation kt = (kn)xx + (1 − k)−α, (x,t) ∈ (0,L) × (0,T) with (kn)x (0,t) = 0, (kn)x (L,t) = (

Sharp global nonlinear stability for a fluid overlying a highly porous material [PDF]
The stability of convection in a two-layer system in which a layer of fluid with a temperature-dependent viscosity overlies and saturates a highly porous material is studied. Owing to the difficulties associated with incorporating the nonlinear advection

Effect of Anionic Surfactants on the Oil–Water–Rock Interactions by an Improved Washburn Method
The complex and variable structure of subsurface oil reservoirs as well as the small pore throat size of reservoirs make it extremely important to investigate the effect of oil–water–rock interactions for enhancing oil recovery. In this paper, the powder

An upscaling-based numerical simulation method for time-varying reservoir properties
Both field practices and laboratory experiments in mature, high water-cut oilfields have confirmed that long-term water flooding dynamically alters rock wettability and micro-pore structure, causing shifts in relative permeability curves and reservoir ...

Three-dimensional spatially localized binary-fluid convection in a porous medium [PDF]
Three-dimensional convection in a binary mixture in a porous medium heated from below is studied. For negative separation ratios steady spatially localized convection patterns are expected.
