Numerical simulation of interface dynamics in capillary-driven porous flow
Abstract
A numerical simulation of capillary-driven porous flow on the scale of a few hundreds of pore diameters is presented. The simulation moves fluid-fluid interfaces dynamically, based on a computed pressure field. A qualitative comparison is made with a more common modeling approach for a simple imbibition problem.
