    • Field-scale impacts of long-term wettability alteration in geological CO2 storage 

      Kassa, Abay; Gasda, Sarah Eileen; Landa-Marbán, David; Sandve, Tor Harald; Kumar, Kundan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Constitutive functions that govern macroscale capillary pressure and relative permeability are central in constraining both storage efficiency and sealing properties of storage systems. Constitutive functions for porous ...

    • Impact of time-dependent wettability alteration on the dynamics of capillary pressure 

      Kassa, Abay; Gasda, Sarah; Kumar, Kundan; Radu, Florin Adrian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Wettability is a pore-scale property that has an important impact on capillarity, residual trapping, and hysteresis in porous media systems. In many applications, the wettability of the rock surface is assumed to be constant ...

    • Implicit linearization scheme for nonstandard two-phase flow in porous media 

      Kassa, Abay; Kumar, Kundan; Gasda, Sarah; Radu, Florin Adrian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      In this article, we consider a nonlocal (in time) two‐phase flow model. The nonlocality is introduced through the wettability alteration induced dynamic capillary pressure function. We present a monotone fixed‐point iterative ...

    • Modeling of relative permeabilities including dynamic wettability transition zones 

      Kassa, Abay; Gasda, Sarah E.; Kumar, Kundan; Radu, Florin Adrian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Wettability is a pore-scale property that impacts the relative movement and distribution of fluids in a porous medium. There are reservoir fluids that provoke the surface within pores to undergo a wettability change. This ...
