Abstrak

Drainage, in which a nonwetting fluid displaces a wetting fluid from a porous medium, is well-studied for media with unchanging solid surfaces. However, many media can be eroded by drainage, with eroded material redeposited in pores downstream, altering further flow. Here, we use theory and simulation to examine how these coupled processes both alter the overall fluid displacement pathway and help reshape the solid medium. We find two new drainage behaviors with markedly different characteristics, and quantitatively delineate the conditions under which they arise. Our results thereby help expand current understanding of these rich physics, with implications for applications of drainage in industry and the environment.
