Numerical simulation of interface dynamics in capillary-driven porous flow

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6780457

We present a numerical simulation of capillary-driven porous flow on the scale of a few hundreds of pore diameters. The simulation moves fluid-fluid interfaces dynamically, based on a computed pressure field. A qualitative comparison is made with a more common modelling approach for a simple imbibition problem.
