Utilizing numerical simulation for petrophyscial parameters, followed by the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) simulation and statistical models, we recognize incomplete multicollinearity as a significant factor confounding correlations among pore structure parameters in prior research. Isoparametric heterogeneity may cause both linear and nonlinear, as well as single and multi-parameter empirical permeability equations, to be ineffective under varying conditions. The absence of a controllable generation model has impeded the examination of permeability uncertainty in cores exhibiting equivalent petrophysical properties. We propose a Multi-Condition Rock Generative Adversarial Network (MCRGAN) model that regulates different petrophysical parameters of generated samples and is suitable for diverse rock types. Employing MCRGAN, we quantitatively assess permeability variations in cores with identical characteristics. Despite equivalent low-order moments like porosity, three-directional permeability means may vary by as much as 50%, but data-driven model inaccuracies might span from 3 to 78% of the real permeability. As porosity increases, permeability range ratios markedly grow, surpassing 10,000%, signifying a considerable augmentation of uncertainty. Our results indicate that aside from reservoir heterogeneity, isoparametric heterogeneity in pore space represents a substantial source of inaccuracy in permeability forecasts utilizing data-driven approaches such as the Kozeny–Carman (KC) equation. Moreover, the MCRGAN model provides significant flexibility, allowing researchers to create MCRGAN + LBM methodologies to examine microscopic control mechanisms of various physical properties in rocks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"153 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148009298","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}

Once deposits form, permeability progressively declines and flow pathways become blocked, making mitigation strategies essential for maintaining long-term operation. Oscillatory injection has been proposed as a potential strategy to delay clogging, yet how its effectiveness depends on physicochemical conditions and complex pore geometries remains poorly understood. Here, we use microfluidic experiments with colloidal suspensions to investigate how oscillatory flow modulates particle transport and clogging in tortuous porous domains. Controlled oscillatory forcing is applied over a range of frequencies while monitoring permeability evolution and deposition dynamics. Under saline conditions, oscillatory flow delays clogging and increases the injected volume before hydraulic failure with increasing frequency, consistent with electrostatic screening that promotes particle aggregation and allows cyclic pressure fluctuations to destabilize growing deposits intermittently. However, the frequency response changes with physicochemical conditions and can even reverse. As ionic strength decreases and electrostatic interactions become stronger, aggregation is suppressed, and clogging becomes increasingly governed by particle crowding and pore bridging, where higher-frequency oscillations can instead accelerate blockage. These findings demonstrate that oscillatory injection does not have a universal effect on clogging, but instead depends on the balance between hydrodynamic forcing and particle interactions. This regime-dependent behavior provides a basis for designing more effective injection strategies in porous media.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"153 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13186896/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147986132","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}

While the steady shear rheology of polymer fluids is known to be reasonably captured by a Carreau-like shear-thinning model, it is still not fully understood how their elastic rheological characteristics, beyond shear-thinning behavior alone, influence their flow in porous media. In this study, we numerically investigate these effects using direct, pore-scale numerical simulations. By comparing data from simulations using the FENE-P model, which incorporates viscoelastic effects, with data from corresponding simulations using the Carreau model, which captures only shear thinning, we confirm that fluid elasticity can induce recirculation upstream of restrictions, leading to a reduction in polymer fluid conductance in porous media. As this recirculation is controlled by the geometric conditions, we conducted detailed comparisons between a two-dimensional model, a three-dimensional model mimicking microfluidics experiments, and an axisymmetric model, analogous to a constricted capillary tube. We also simulate flow in an ordered packing of uniform spheres to develop an understanding of the implications for flow in a 3D porous material. We find that these flows are regulated by the interplay between shear-thinning and elasticity effects. When the shear-thinning effect is sufficiently strong, the effects of elasticity are suppressed. In subsurface applications, viscoelastic effects are significant due to pore-scale confinement and fluid rheology itself, requiring explicit consideration in modeling, pilot design, and performance forecasting.</p>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"153 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11242-026-02312-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147938510","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}

While capillary equilibration has been shown to affect the evolution of the dispersed phase, its coupling with the underlying diffusive process in the liquid phase remains largely unexplored. Here, we deploy a pore-network model to describe coupled dissolution and diffusive interactions of a lattice of microbubbles in irregular pore networks. We demonstrate that the dissolution process becomes more erratic than in regular networks, because of the complex interplay between local connectivity effects and diffusive shielding between neighboring bubbles. By applying the method of moments, we quantify the evolution of solute mass in the system and compute continuum-scale properties, such as the effective diffusion coefficient of the network and the dissolution rate of the bubble lattice. We observe that the presence of bubbles delays the attainment of an asymptotic diffusive behavior and reduces the spatial extent of the solute plume relative to the same liquid-saturated network.

Unlike low-salinity enhanced polymer flooding (LSP), which primarily targets viscous oils, PELS focuses on mitigating salt dispersion and enhancing sweep efficiency of LSWF. Building on our earlier experiments under single-phase and two-phase conditions with model oils, this study evaluates the combined effects of wettability alteration and salt dispersion during PELS under two-phase flow conditions with crude oil. A series of coreflooding experiments was conducted using artificial sandpacks, aged and non-aged, to assess the role of wettability alteration. Salt dispersion was quantified by fitting effluent salinity breakthrough curves using a non-Fickian transport model based on the Mobile–Immobile (MIM) framework implemented in STANMOD (STudio of ANalytical MODels). The results indicate that wettability alteration is associated with increased salt dispersion, which is interpreted to result from delayed release of high-salinity brine from unswept regions, leading to a 64% reduction in the <i>Peclet</i> number in aged samples. Compared to LSWF alone, incorporating 400 ppm of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) to the injection brine (PELS) would be effective toward reducing the salt dispersion by 75% and resulted in a modest increase (~ 5%) in oil recovery. While PELS slightly suppresses wettability alteration compared to low-salinity (LS) brine, it improves the brine-brine mobility ratio and stabilizes the salinity front, resulting in more stable front propagation and efficient oil displacement. These findings highlight the need to jointly consider wettability alteration and solute transport in optimizing LSWF and potentially other water-based EOR methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"153 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147937771","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}

Situations such as bank storage during river stage fluctuations, infiltration from surface sources, and drainage in shallow groundwater systems all fall within this setting and benefit from analytical solutions that capture these nonlinear effects. This exponent controls the degree of nonlinearity in the diffusion term and allows the model to represent a wide range of physical situations, from nearly linear flow to a strongly nonlinear transport, such as flows through concretes, forest soils, and filtration of polytropic gases. By extending the quadratic-profile approach to arbitrary nonlinearity, we obtain a family of exact solutions that describes both infiltration and drainage regimes within a single framework. The solution family also connects directly to two classical results: a traveling-front profile that appears under strong boundary fluxes and a selfsimilar mound that arises when the boundary flux vanishes.
