Spontaneous imbibition controls many processes of practical importance. The subject is
undergoing rapid growth in terms of the number of publications. This paper is a selective …

Toxic organic contaminants may enter the subsurface as slightly soluble and volatile
nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) or as dissolved solutes resulting in contaminant plumes …

Hydrocarbon production, gas recovery from shale, CO2 storage and water management
have a common scientific underpinning: multiphase flow in porous media. This book …

Imbibition is very common, occurring in life, material, chemistry, and energy. It plays an
important role in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The development of many reservoirs is …

Spontaneous, counter‐current imbibition (SI) is a key mechanism in many multiphase flow
processes, such as cleanup of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs), bioremediation, or CO2 …

Spontaneous imbibition is an area of significant interest to the petroleum industry due to its
large contribution to oil production in mature and fractured fields. This work discusses the …

Coupled pressure-driven (viscous) flow and spontaneous imbibition are the main regimes
during shale oil production. Revealing the unclear mechanisms of this coupled flow is a …

We present analytical solutions for capillary-controlled displacement in one dimension by
use of fractional-flow theory. We show how to construct solutions with a spreadsheet that can …

Spontaneous imbibition (SI), which is a process of displacing a nonwetting fluid by a wetting
fluid in porous media, is of critical importance to hydrocarbon recovery from fractured …

Dynamics of flowing air in partially water‐saturated, porous geological formations are
governed by a wide range of forces and parameters. These dynamics are reviewed in the …
