Stability analysis of a phase-field model of gravity-driven unsaturated flow through porous media.
The formation of preferential flow paths during infiltration of water into homogeneous, dry soil is an important phenomenon whose explanation and prediction have remained elusive under the standard theories of multiphase flow in porous media. We have recently proposed a macroscopic phase-field model of unsaturated flow in porous media, which explains why such fingering occurs [L. Cueto-Felguero...
متن کاملNonlocal interface dynamics and pattern formation in gravity-driven unsaturated flow through porous media.
Existing continuum models of multiphase flow in porous media are unable to explain why preferential flow (fingering) occurs during infiltration into homogeneous, dry soil. Following a phase-field methodology, we propose a continuum model that accounts for an apparent surface tension at the wetting front and does not introduce new independent parameters. The model reproduces the observed feature...

متن کاملA New Approach for Constructing Pore Network Model of Two Phase Flow in Porous Media
Development of pore network models for real porous media requires a detailed understanding of physical processes occurring on the microscopic scale and a complete description of porous media morphology. In this study, the microstructure of porous media has been represented by three dimensional networks of interconnected pores and throats which are designed by an object oriented approach. Af...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Multiple-porosity Model for Single-phase Flow through Naturally Fractured Porous Media
A model for single-phase flow in porous media that are hierarchically fissured in regular patterns was derived by a recursive asymptotic expansion technique in [16] and part of [24]. This work rigorously justifies that model. Through recursive homogenization, we extend the doubleporosity model in [5], which has one fracture system and a matrix (rock) block system, to a triple-porosity model tha...
