The enormous growth in computational capabilities of recent years has made Navier–Stokes-
based simulation of flow and transport in natural porous media possible. Because of the …

Darcy-scale models of flow and transport in porous media often fail to describe
experimentally observed phenomena, while their pore-scale counterparts are accurate but …

The physical mechanisms that control the flow dynamics in organic-rich shale are not well
understood. The challenges include nanometer-scale pores and multiscale heterogeneity in …

A review on the recent advances of the flow and transport phenomena in tight and shale
formations is presented in this work. Exploration of oil and gas in resources that were once …

Earth sciences is undergoing a gradual but massive shift from descriptions of the earth and
earth systems, toward process modeling, simulation, and process visualization. This shift is …

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of multiphase flow yields the highest fidelity predictions of
pore-scale fluid dynamics in porous media. The drawback of DNS is its high computational …

A micro-continuum simulation framework is proposed to study the complex pore-scale
dynamics associated with hydrocarbon recovery from shale gas. The model accounts for the …

We present a novel hybrid (or multiphysics) algorithm, which couples pore-scale and Darcy
descriptions of two-phase flow in porous media. The flow at the pore-scale is described by …

We present a dynamic particle-based model for direct pore-level modeling of incompressible
viscous fluid flow in disordered porous media. The model is capable of simulating flow …

Reactive transport in fractured media is conceptualized as a multi-scale problem that
couples a pore-scale component, which comprises Navier–Stokes flow, multi-component …
