Dynamics of snap-off and pore-filling events during two-phase fluid flow in permeable media

Abstract Understanding the pore-scale dynamics of two-phase fluid flow in permeable media is important in many processes such as water infiltration in soils, oil recovery, and geo-sequestration of CO2. The two most important processes that compete during the displacement of a non-wetting fluid by a...
