Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

Wetting of corner-containing geometries is ubiquitous, since the man-made surfaces and
natural surfaces are usually not atomically smooth and contain pores, grooves, and cracks …

A new color‐gradient lattice Boltzmann model is developed to simulate spontaneous
imbibition in a porous media micromodel, which needs only two‐dimensional computational …

Droplet evaporation on porous materials is a complex dynamic that occurs with spontaneous
liquid imbibition through pores by capillary action. Here, we explore water dynamics on a …

Drying of porous media is governed by a combination of evaporation and movement of the
liquid phase within the porous structure. Contact angle hysteresis induced by surface …

In this work, theoretical modelling, quasi-three-dimensional (quasi-3D) simulations and
micromodel experiments are conducted to study spontaneous imbibition with gravity in …

Spontaneous imbibition in an angular tube with corner films is a fundamental problem in
many scientific and engineering processes. In this study, a modified interacting capillary …

Drying shrinkage occurs accompanying with heat-moisture transfer during drying process of
high-moisture porous media and forming mechanism of drying shrinkage is complicated and …

In this work, a hybrid method coupling a pseudo-potential lattice Boltzmann model (LBM)
and a pore network model (PNM) to simulate drying in porous media is proposed. Based on …

Visualization experiments with microfluidic pore networks are performed in this work to
disclose interplay between salt precipitation, the corner liquid film flow, and gas–liquid …
