• Optimal path for the flow of yield stress fluids 

      Lanza, Federico (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:386, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Numerous real-world applications depend on understanding how liquids or gases flow through the tiny holes of materials like soil or rocks, called “porous media”. These applications range from cleaning up polluted groundwater ...
    • Transition from viscous fingers to foam during drainage in heterogeneous porous media 

      Lanza, Federico; Sinha, Santanu; Hansen, Alex; Rosso, Alberto; Talon, Laurent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      We investigate the behavior of drainage displacements in heterogeneous porous media finding a transition from viscous fingering to foam-like region. A pore network model incorporating the formation of blobs is adopted to ...
