Study on three-dimensional immiscible water–Oil two-phase displacement and trapping in deformed pore structures subjected to varying geostress via in situ computed tomography scanning and additively printed models

TLDR
In this article, an additive manufacturing or 3D printing (3DP) technology was applied to replicate the transparent models of actual porous rocks, facilitating the representation and quantification of pore space deformation and the dynamic process of water displacement and oil trapping.

The Fractal Geometry of Nature

TL;DR: A blend of erudition (fascinating and sometimes obscure historical minutiae abound), popularization (mathematical rigor is relegated to appendices) and exposition (the reader need have little knowledge of the fields involved) is presented in this article.

Pore-scale imaging and modelling

TL;DR: Pore-scale imaging and modelling is becoming a routine service in the oil and gas industry as discussed by the authors, and has potential applications in contaminant transport and carbon dioxide storage, which has been shown to transform our understanding of multiphase flow processes.

Numerical models and experiments on immiscible displacements in porous media

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of network simulators (100 × 100 and 25 × 25 pores) based on the physical rules of the displacement at the pore scale, and they show the existence of the three basic domains (capillary fingering, viscous fingering and stable displacement) within which the patterns remain unchanged.

X-ray-Computed Tomography Contrast Agents

TL;DR: The strong relationship between absorption and atomic number is of significant importance in clinical applications and the Z4 factor allows for contrast levels of several orders of magnitude between different tissues and types of contrast agents.
