Dispersion in Slow Capillary Force Dominated Flows

Explore the complexities of multiphase fluid transport in porous media through this 42-minute lecture by Professor Joachim Mathiesen from the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. Delve into the challenges of understanding two-fluid flows in porous systems, where capillary forces significantly impact fluid dynamics. Examine computer simulations and theoretical approaches aimed at explaining solute spreading in these complex environments. Gain insights into the formation of time-varying flow pathways and their role in accelerating solute dispersion. Discover how this research contributes to our understanding and potential control of transport properties in natural systems, bridging the gap between well-established single-fluid flow theories and the more intricate multiphase flow phenomena encountered in various scientific and industrial applications.
