Pore-scale analysis of complex displacement patterns in two-phase immiscible ow in porous media

这个项目的重点是进一步了解孔隙尺度的流体动力学支撑在地下多相流体流动。最近实验室和同步加速器微X射线CT的可用性允许前所未有的细节成像和建模流体流动通过多孔岩石在单个孔隙的规模（微米到毫米）。这是我们对重要的流体-岩石过程的理解的一场革命，具有广泛的应用，包括石油生产和地下二氧化碳储存。参见Blunt等人，（2013）最近的一次审查。

This project is focused on furthering our understanding of the pore scale fluid dynamics underpinning multiphase fluid flow in the subsurface. The recent availability of laboratory and synchrotron micro X-ray CT has allowed for unprecedented detail in imaging and modeling fluid flow through porous rocks at the scale of individual pores (microns to millimetres). This is leading a revolution in our understanding of important fluid-rock processes with wide ranging applications including petroleum production, and CO2 storage underground. See Blunt et al., (2013) for a recent review.
