Assessing Rheology Effects and Pore Space Complexity in Polymer Flow Through Porous Media: A Pore‐Scale Simulation Study

Abstract Non‐Newtonian fluid flow within porous media, exemplified by polymer remediation of contaminated groundwater/aquifer systems, presents complex challenges due to the fluids' complex rheological behavior within 3D tortuous pore structures. This paper introduces a pore‐scale flow simulato...
