A pore-scale network model is developed to simulate formation and collapse of wetting and spreading oil layers in two- and three-phase flow systems. We focus mainly on oil layers and their connectivity at low oil saturations particularly in three-phase flow processes. A new conf…

Two and three-phase flow processes involving gas, liquid and solid, are common in nature and industry, and include some of the most complex and poorly-understood transport problems. In this research hydrodynamics, heat and mass transfer processes in complex two and three-phase f…

The concurrent flow of three fluid phases, e.g., oil, gas, and brine, occurs frequently in petroleum reservoirs and during non-aqueous phase liquid migration in aquifers thereby warranting detailed studies of the process. In this study, three-phase flow is experimentally investi…
