Intermittency effects in single- and multi-phase flow and anomalous transport in heterogeneous porous media

Multi-phase flow and transport in porous media is prevalent a wide range of challenging fluid mechanics problems related to sustainability, energy, the environment. Accurate prediction displacement interaction such flows vital addressing these problems. In particular it critical understand small- or pore-scale its spatial temporal evolution, which can impact behaviors at system scales nontrivial manner. Intermittency phenomenon currently observed numerical experimental studies single-phase (Anna et al., n.d.; Morales n.d.), but case multi-phase has yet receive much study due challenges faced both simulations experiments. The underlying physics spreading, mixing, interfacial processes must be understood for accurate predictions systems. Therefore, comprehensive understanding very small necessary development system-scale models. We present results from coordinated intermittency effects over viscous inertial regimes single- 2D heterogeneous micromodels quantify Lagrangian statistics better inform applicability different modeling frameworks as correlated-continuous time random walk tested by studying particle trajectories obtained tracking velocimetry (PTV) measurements Lattice Boltzmann flows. make note influence pore Reynolds number (Re) on intermittency, compare two regimes.
