It includes a comprehensive literature review on analytical approaches to gas flow, Klinkenberg effect, and other effects like gravitational acceleration (super-gravity cases). The review investigates previous findings for ideal gas flow under isothermal conditions under various conditions – including one-dimensional (1D) permeametric flow conditions – taking into account perfect gas compressibility and the Klinkenberg effect due to gas slippage in fine pores. Usually, gravitational acceleration is neglected in the gas flow literature: this classical assumption is assessed quantitatively, and a new 1D analytical solution is developed at steady state for the case of strong gravitational acceleration, as may arise under centrifugal conditions. On the other hand, new 1D analytical solutions are developed for space-time gas pressure profiles and for mass flux density profiles in the porous column, with or without Klinkenberg effect. These analytical solutions are tested and compared to numerical simulations, both Finite Volume and Finite Element. Both the gas pressure profiles and the mass flux density profiles approach the exact steady state at large times. Furthermore, it is is demonstrated that the proposed analytical solution for gas pressure is a fair approximation over a broad range of time scales, from early times up to large times approaching steady state.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"152 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11242-025-02226-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145073972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the pore-scale mechanism of microbubble-induced vortex dynamics on residual oil mobilization through integrated microscopic visualization experiments and numerical simulations. Key findings reveal three critical phenomena: (1) Microbubble coalescence generates microscale vortices at merged interfaces through surface energy release; (2) these vortices enhance multiphase transport via three coupled mechanisms, intensifying interfacial energy–momentum transfer to modify oil film flow regimes, amplifying shear stress for oil film detachment, and accelerating mass transfer to reduce crude oil viscosity through oil–water–gas mixing; (3) dynamic pressure fluctuations associated with vortex formation–dissipation cycles exhibit a maximum pressure differential of 29.56 kPa, synergistically mobilizing residual oil trapped in isobaric pore throats and blind-end structures—the primary reservoirs of post waterflood residual oil. The interaction between microscale vortices and pore-scale turbulence promotes mutual amplification, increasing the pressure fluctuation intensity while increasing the fluid sweep efficiency. These insights establish a theoretical foundation for optimizing microbubble systems through controlled vortex dynamics, offering strategic implications for improving capillary-trapped oil recovery in complex porous media.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"152 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145073971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments to measure permeability must provide good sealing to ensure that the measured flow is only through the sample of interest; however, for TPS materials that have been partially charred, the sample geometry can complicate this measurement. Prior measurement techniques were found to be inadequate for such charred samples. A new method was developed which can robustly and repeatably mount and seal irregularly shaped centimeter scale samples of porous media such that their Darcy permeabilities and Klinkenberg molecular slip coefficients can be measured. Such measurements were achieved using steady flows of nitrogen at absolute pressures up to 1000 Torr. Two techniques were devised for processing test articles to be compatible with the experiment. The first of these methods involves the direct casting of porous media into thermoset resin and can accommodate uneven or irregularly shaped test articles as occur for charred TPS. The second method involves the mounting of porous media into a constrictive sleeve lined with thermoplastic adhesive. This second method better preserves the two outer surfaces of the TPS sample. A commercially available porous TPS material, Zuram, was subjected to partial thermal decomposition in nitrogen and then studied using the developed techniques. The method for sealing the samples was found to enable measurements on these charred samples and showed the permeability increases by a factor of 4 in a nonlinear manner during the early stages of mass loss.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"152 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145073974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It arose from the development of an Archie’s Law for <i>n</i>-phases when it is applied to fluid permeability. We have shown that Connectedness Theory allows for relative permeabilities to be expressed as ratios of connectednesses. This approach demonstrates why the sum of the non-wetting phase and wetting phase relative permeabilities is always less than unity. In its most general form the Connectedness Theory for two-phase relative permeabilities has eight independent parameters and allows both the fractions of immobile and mobile wetting phase and non-wetting phase, and the phase exponents to vary as a function of wetting phase and non-wetting phase saturation. However, if we make the common assumption that the irreducible wetting phase saturation and residual non-wetting phase saturation are constant and that the phase exponents are also constant, we can use the Connectedness Theory to prove the Brooks and Corey approach to relative permeability modelling and to relate its lambda parameters to phase exponents. In doing so, we also show that the wetting phase relative permeability endpoint is not an independent parameter but arises from variability of phase exponents and hence connectednesses as a function of fluid saturations, and that the two Brooks and Corey coefficients are interdependent. Finally, the Connectedness Theory also predicts that in principle one relative permeability curve can be calculated from the other. Since the theory upon which it is based is valid for any number of different phases, the two-phase scenario followed by most of this work is easily extended to three-phase relative permeabilities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"152 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11242-025-02217-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145073950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two tensors correspond to the effective permeability of phases, and the other two are named as viscous drag tensors. The four tensors are determined by solving associated tensorial closure problems in representative geometries of the porous medium. We have numerically solved the integro-differential equations composing the closure problems in a 2D cavity (unit cell) undergoing imbibition and drainage processes, as a first approximation. Thus, we have estimated the main directions of the effective tensors as functions of the wetting-phase saturation. The effective permeabilities follow trends similar to experimentally measured permeability relative curves, showing hysteresis for drainage and imbibition, although with some deviations from the experimental values. Meanwhile, the viscous drag tensors exhibit estimations of order 1, which are in agreement with the analytical predictions of Whitaker. The findings of this work are promising, as in future works, more realistic cells as: thin sections of rocks, SEM images, or 3D tomography of rocks, can be used to improve the numerical predictions of the effective tensors and elucidate thus the effect of microscale phenomena on the two-phase flow at larger scales.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"152 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144998575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
