The remediation of aquifers contaminated by viscous dense non-aqueous phase liquids
(DNAPLs) is a challenging problem. Coal tars are the most abundant persistent DNAPLs …

Solute transport in partially-saturated porous media plays a key role in multiple applications
across scales, from the migration of nutrients and contaminants in soils to geological energy …

Vascular atresia are often treated via transcatheter recanalization or surgical vascular
anastomosis due to congenital malformations or coronary occlusions. The cellular response …

Micromodels are important for studying various pore-scale phenomena in hydrogeology.
However, the fabrication of a custom micromodel involves complicated steps with cost …

The gas–water flow in coal cleats is an important factor affecting coalbed methane
production. However, difficulties are often encountered in the prediction of gas production …

Simplifying fluid-flow physics in conventional reservoirs is convenient by assuming uniform
lithology and system-geometry with minimal rock/hydrocarbon interactions. Such …

Fluid invasion in porous media widely exists in many applications, such as waterflooded
