A pore-scale experimental investigation of microscopic steady-state flow during co-injection from very low to high flow rates in the pore space of a sandstone. The dataset likely contains results from 4D synchrotron X-ray micro-tomography experiments visualizing simultaneous flow of wetting and non-wetting fluids through Bentheimer sandstone. The data was provided by the British Geological Survey and was last updated on 2026-04 09.
Use Cases
- Modeling multiphase Darcy flow behavior based on pore-scale experimental observations.
- Analyzing fluid pathway changes from bicontinuous to discrete ganglia based on flow rate data.
- Studying the balance of viscous and capillary forces in porous media based on the described experimental results.
- Validating pore-scale simulation models based on direct 4D imaging of fluid flow.
Strengths
- Data is derived from advanced 4D synchrotron X-ray micro-tomography imaging.
- Experiments cover a range of flow rates from very low to high.
- Provides direct visualization of wetting and non-wetting fluid flow at pore-scale resolution.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect experimental bias inherent to the specific Bentheimer sandstone sample.
