Fluid–Fluid Interfacial Effects in Multiphase Flow during Carbonated Waterflooding in Sandstone: Application of X-ray Microcomputed Tomography and Molecular Dynamics

Fluid-fluid interfacial reactions in porous materials are pertinent to many engineering applications such as fuel cells, catalyst design, subsurface energy recovery (enhanced oil recovery), and CO2 storage. They have been identified to control physicochemical properties such as interfacial rheology, multiphase flow, and reaction kinetics. In recent years, engineered waterflooding has been identified as an effective way to increase hydrocarbon...
