Emulsions are suspensions of droplets ubiquitous in oil recovery from underground
reservoirs. Oil is typically trapped in geological porous media where emulsions are either …

Several publications by authors in the field of petrochemical engineering have examined the
use of chemically enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) technology, with a specific interest in …

Pattern-forming processes in simple fluids and suspensions have been studied extensively,
and the basic displacement structures, similar to viscous fingers and fractals in capillary …

rheophysical behaviour; 2. Overview of the mechanics of continuous media; 3 …

Flow of non-Newtonian fluids in rock fractures is ubiquitous in engineering practice and
involves eg cement flow in tunnel grouting, drilling fluid flow when a fracture is met during …

Gas-liquid foams are important in applications ranging from oil recovery and mineral
flotation to food science and microfluidics. Beyond their practical use, they represent an …

During the production of heavy oil reservoirs, the movement of the fluids, namely oil and
water, significantly affects the production rates. This movement is influenced by the mobility …

The finger-like branching pattern that occurs when a less viscous fluid displaces a more
viscous one confined between two parallel plates has been widely studied as a classical …

Bio-mimicking is the process of mimicking the various patterns, models, and systems of
nature to take inspiration and solve human problems. The fractal-like patterns are seen in …

When a reactive and miscible less-viscous liquid displaces a more-viscous liquid in a Hele-
Shaw cell, reactive miscible viscous fingering takes place. We succeed in showing …
