Micro and nano scale transport phenomena in porous media with applications to unconventional hydrocarbon resources

微/纳米（小）尺度的输运现象，如天然气、石油或水在地下非常致密的岩石中流动，在自然界、技术和科学中比比皆是。小尺度流体输运机制是指流体流动中涉及微/纳米几何形状或由微/纳米尺度物体存在所产生的力驱动的流动。微/纳米传输现象的例子包括提高石油产量、基于化学的土壤和水的原位修复、二氧化碳的地质储存、非常致密储层的天然气生产、微生物的迁移、纳米技术和微化学反应器中的生物分析过程等等。

Micro/nano (small) scale transport phenomena such as flow of gas, oil or water in very tight underground rocks abound in nature, technology, and science. Small scale fluid transport mechanisms refer to the involvement of micro/nano geometries in fluid flows or flows driven by forces arising from the presence of micro/nano scale bodies. Examples of micro/nano transport phenomena include enhanced oil production, chemically based in-situ remediation of soil and water, geological storage of carbon dioxide, gas production from very tight reservoirs, migration of micro-organisms, bio-analytical processes in nanotechnology and micro-chemical reactors, and others.
