Managing and remediating perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS)
contaminated sites remains challenging. The major reasons are the complexity of geological …

The solutal Marangoni effect is attracting increasing interest because of its fundamental role
in many isothermal directional transport processes in fluids, including the Marangoni-driven …

To investigate the impact of permeability and heterogeneity on oil displacement efficiency
and remaining oil distribution of chemical flooding, three groups of high and ultrahigh …

Hypothesis The gradients in surfactant distribution at a fluid-fluid interface can induce fluid
flow known as the Marangoni flow. Fluid interfaces found in biological and environmental …

The blind-end is a typical tiny structure widely distributed in reservoir rock. In this work, we
used the microfluidics to observe the fluid flow phenomenon in blind-ends at pore scale. A …

Marangoni effect is significant in many actual engineering processes, such as drying of
semiconductor wafers, growth of crystals, chemical polishing process, and microgravity …

The role of salts in altering the interfacial tension (IFT) and wettability of the rock towards oil
recovery is evident through low salinity (lowsal) water flooding. On the other hand, alkali …

Spontaneous imbibition behavior of fracturing fluid retained in reservoirs is considered to be
one of the important mechanisms of spontaneous oil–water displacement in tight reservoirs …

The occurrence of the Marangoni phenomenon is due to the surface tension gradient within
a system, resulting in the creation of a convective flow from low surface tension to high …

Forward imbibition and reverse imbibition are common imbibition modes in reservoir
development. In order to understand the characteristics of recovery efficiency, sweep mode …
