Abstract Details

2019, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Mechanical Engineering.
Capillary transport phenomenon in porous media can be found in numerous natural processes and industrial applications such as inkjet printing, filtration, and enhanced oil recovery. In many of these applications, fluid penetration can be categorized into two orientations, viz., unidirectional (linear) and radial. In this thesis, the wicking process for both orientations has been investigated. Direct numerical simulation with Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method has been implemented at pore scale (micro-scale simulation) to solve the transient governing equations, and global properties such as meniscus displacement and capillary pressure have been calculated to investigate macroscopic spontaneous imbibition (wicking) process.
