Quasistatic fluid-fluid displacement in porous media: Invasion-percolation through a wetting transition

We study the influence of wettability on the morphology of fluid-fluid displacement through analog porous media in the limit of vanishing flow rates. We introduce an invasion-percolation model that considers cooperative pore filling and corner-flow mechanisms and captures interface motion at the por...
