Drainage under Nonequilibrium Conditions: Exploring Wettability and Dynamic Contact Angle Effects Using Bundle‐Of‐Tubes Simulations

Numerical simulators often assume that equilibrium capillary pressure–saturation conditions are maintained as changes in fluid saturation are taking place; however, equilibrium conditions may not be maintained in all circumstances. An alternative approach is to describe a nonequilibrium difference b...
