Controlling Viscous Fingering
… of the model, we repeat the calculation for a shear-thinning rheology. Finally, experiments are analysed in which the nonlinear growth of viscous fingers develops to test the influence of different injection profiles on the development of instability. Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) …

A Multiscale Study of Foam: The Phase Behavior, Transport, and Rheology of Foam in Porous Media
… of the phase/component transport and the rheology of foam flow in porous media. The first part of my research investigates the foam transport dependence on its constituent components: the effect of gas types and surfactant structures. An experimental investigation of the effect of gas type …

Propagation of fluid driven fractures in transversely isotropic material
… HF are non-Newtonian. They typically exhibit a shear-thinning behavior which can be reproduced by different rheological models with varying levels of accuracy (Carreau, power law, Ellis). In this thesis, we focus on hydraulic fractures in impermeable TI media. We assume that the fracture …

Direct Simulations of Fluid-Particle Flow in Newtonian and non-Newtonian Fluids Using Coupled Lattice Boltzmann and Discrete Element Methods
… denser oblate particle suspension subject to the shear flow. A connection between the micro-structure statistics and the suspension viscosity is proposed. Second, the shear rate effects on the finer oblate particle suspension viscosity are studied. The viscosity of the suspension is observed to …
