• Burst Dynamics, Upscaling and Dissipation of Slow Drainage in Porous Media 

      Måløy, Knut Jørgen; Moura, Marcel; Hansen, Alex; Flekkøy, Eirik Grude; Toussaint, Renaud (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      We present a theoretical and experimental investigation of drainage in porous media. The study is limited to stabilized fluid fronts at moderate injection rates, but it takes into account capillary, viscous, and gravitational ...
    • Capillary washboarding during slow drainage of a frictional fluid 

      Thorens, Louison; Måløy, Knut Jørgen; Flekkøy, Eirik Grude; Sandnes, Bjørnar; Bourgoin, Mickaël; Santucci, Stephane F A (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Numerous natural and industrial processes involve the mixed displacement of liquids, gases and granular materials through confining structures. However, understanding such three-phase flows remains a formidable challenge, ...
    • Shape of a frictional fluid finger 

      Flekkøy, Eirik Grude; Sandnes, Bjørnar; Måløy, Knut Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Frictional fluid dynamics describes the displacement patterns that arise when a confined mixture of liquid and grains are displaced by an immiscible fluid under pressures that are too small to cause drainage into single ...
    • A simplified pore-scale model for slow drainage including film-flow effects 

      Kozlowski Pitombeira Reis, Paula; Moura, Marcel; Linga, Gaute; Rikvold, Per Arne; Toussaint, Renaud; Flekkøy, Eirik Grude; Måløy, Knut Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Liquid-filled corners and capillary bridges can establish networks connecting seemingly isolated clusters during drainage in porous media. Coupled with drainage through the bulk of pores and throats, the flow through these ...
