Reducing Connectivity of Nonwetting Phase in Porous Media
Project Description:
Multiphase flow in porous media contains fluids with capillary pressure-controlled flow. The topological connectivity of the nonwetting phase after equilibration affects how much of this phase is trapped in the medium. This research will aim to study the effects of variable drainage and imbibition flowrates and varying pore geometries on the post-equilibration connectivity of the nonwetting phase. These results could be applicable to groundwater remediation of NAPLs as well as geological carbon sequestration.
