Pressure Saturation Curves and the Critical Volume Fraction for Percolation
The pressure-saturation curves of porous media give fundamental information about the pore space. In equilibrium, ignoring effects due to hysteresis,...

Effects of Multi-Scale Heterogeneity
It is generally agreed that problems with multi-scale heterogeneity present the biggest challenge to computation and understanding. A few such...

Analysis of rock microstructure after CO2 breakthrough based on CT scanning
The alteration of mudstone’s microscopic properties within the caprock in CO 2 geological storage determines the effect of storage. One of the crucial...

Seepage-related characteristics of weak interlayer suffering from a physically-chemically mediated erosion in grotto relics
The coexistence of the weak interlayer and groundwater could give rise to an undesirable geological condition, resulting in seepage-induced hazards,...

Role of Liquid Immiscibility in the Formation of the Rare Metal Granites of the Katugin Massif, Aldan Shield
AbstractThe paper discusses possible immiscibility between fluoride salt (“cryolite”) and silicate liquids into which the parental melt of the...
