This relationship is usually determined under the static condition, where capillary pressure is the only function of saturation. However,considerable experiments have suggested that the dependence of capillary pressure on desaturation rate is under the dynamic condition. Thus, a more general description of capillary pressure that includes dynamic capillary effect has been approved widely. A comprehensive understanding of the dynamic capillary effect is needed for the investigation of the two-phase flow in porous media by various methods. In general, dynamic capillary effect in porous media can be studied through the laboratory experiment, pore-to macro-scale modeling, and artificial neural network. Here, main principle and research procedures of each method are reviewed in detail. Then, research progress, disadvantages and advantages are discussed, respectively. In addition, upscaling study from pore-to macro-scale are introduced, which explains the difference between laboratory experiment and pore-scale modeling. At last, several future perspectives and recommendations for optimal solution of dynamic capillary effect are presented.展开更多

The present numerical experiment shows that the code is robust and efficient for modeling the generation and propagation of capillary-gravity waves. It is found that the wave heights of stationary periodic nonlinear waves radiated away from the plate are dependent on the parameters involved in the contact-angle model. The effect of the contact-angle hysteresis and the nonlinearity of capillary-gravity waves on the wave profile is discussed in the paper.展开更多
