Real-time 3D imaging of Haines jumps in porous media flow (2013, methodology): “Measurements of the external pressure, p, required to quantify the externally performed work, may be complemented by in situ estimation of the phase pressures; however, although this method is feasible in principle, it is still under development (37).”
Pore-scale contact angle measurements at reservoir conditions using X-ray microtomography (2014, background): “surfaces, with well-defined curvatures, at each point along the generated surface, as detailed in [39].”
Modeling the velocity field during Haines jumps in porous media (2015, unknown): “Fluid-fluid displacement processes can also be visualized in 3D using dynamic X-ray computed microtomography (lCT) and the resulting images can be used to measure interfacial areas and curvatures [4,7].”
Capillary trapping for geologic carbon dioxide storage - From pore scale physics to field scale implications (2015, background): “It is also possible to use pore-scale images to measure contact angle directly (Armstrong et al., 2012); for the supercritical CO2brine system, the contact angles have been measured on a calcite rich carbonate rock to lie in the range 40–50◦, again confirming water-wet conditions (Andrew et al.,…”
Estimation of the structure dependent performance of 3-D rapid prototyped membranes (2015, background): “The smoothness results from a local area minimization principle, which causes the disappearance of mean curvature and Young–Laplace pressure [40].”
Pore-Scale Characterization of Two-Phase Flow Using Integral Geometry (2017, background): “The accuracy of curvature measurements has been reviewed elsewhere (Armstrong et al. 2012).”
The Imaging of Dynamic Multiphase Fluid Flow Using Synchrotron-Based X-ray Microtomography at Reservoir Conditions (2015, methodology): “…coreflooding (Pini et al. 2012); however, recent developments have allowed for direct measurement of capillary pressure at the pore-scale through the measurement of the curvature of surfaces generated across the wetting–non-wetting phase interface (Andrew et al. 2014a; Armstrong et al. 2012).”
Pore‐by‐pore capillary pressure measurements using X‐ray microtomography at reservoir conditions: Curvature, snap‐off, and remobilization of residual CO2 (2014, result): “Recent work has, however, correlated the externally derived capillary pressure measurements with direct pore-scale measurements of interface curvature [Armstrong et al., 2012].”
