Capillary rise in partially saturated rigid porous media

JI Siddique, DM Anderson - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2024 - cambridge.org
We explore predictions of two models of one-dimensional capillary rise in rigid and partially
saturated porous media. One is an existing one from the literature and the second is a free …

Travelling wave solutions for gravity fingering in porous media flows

K Mitra, A Rätz, B Schweizer - arXiv preprint arXiv:2011.10792, 2020 - arxiv.org
We study an imbibition problem for porous media. When a wetted layer is above a dry
medium, gravity leads to the propagation of the water downwards into the medium. In …
