A quasi-3D color-gradient model is developed to simulate spontaneous imbibition in porous media micromodel • Spontaneous imbibition in a homogeneous micromodel is studied for varying viscosity ratio, surface wettability, and micromodel height • Lucas-Washburn equation is demonstrated inapplicable for spontaneous imbibition in considered micromodel due to capillary valve effect
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
