“…First, traditional approaches are impacted by experimental artifacts, such as the capillary end effects, as described in detail in Figure 3. Another advantage of using PNM to characterize capillary heterogeneity is that measurements are not influenced by viscous forces that are typically ignored with assumptions of capillary equilibrium across the system (Krause et al, 2013;Pini & Benson, 2013Jackson, Agada, et al, 2018;Hejazi et al, 2019). Finally, approaches for quantifying capillary heterogeneity rely on J-Leverett scaling (Leverett, 1940;Krause et al, 2013;Pini & Benson, 2013).…”
