Non-Darcy interfacial dynamics of air-water two-phase flow in rough fractures under drainage conditions

Abstract Two-phase flow interfacial dynamics in rough fractures is fundamental to understanding fluid transport in fractured media. The Haines jump of non-Darcy flow in porous media has been investigated at pore scales, but its fundamental processes in rough fractures remain unclear. In this study,...
