Effects of Pore-Scale Geometry and Wettability on Two-Phase Relative Permeabilities within Elementary Cells

Effects of Pore-Scale Geometry and Wettability on Two-Phase Relative Permeabilities within Elementary Cells

We study the relative role of the complex pore space geometry and wettability of the solid matrix on the quantification of relative permeabilities of elementary cells of porous media. These constitute a key element upon which upscaling frameworks are typically grounded. In our study we focus on stat...
