Interface pinning of immiscible gravity-exchange flows in porous media

Interface pinning of immiscible gravity-exchange flows in porous media

Show other versions (1)

We study the gravity-exchange flow of two immiscible fluids in a porous medium and show that, in contrast with the miscible case, a portion of the initial interface remains pinned at all times. We elucidate, by means of micromodel experiments, the pore-level mechanism responsible for capillary pinni...
