A discrete-domain description of multiphase flow in porous media: Rugged energy landscapes and the origin of hysteresis
We propose a discrete-domain model to describe mesoscale (many pore) immiscible displacements in porous media. We conceptualize the porous medium and fluid system as a set of weakly connected multistable compartments. The overall properties of the system emerge from the small-scale compartment dynam...
