The impact of transitions between two-fluid and three-fluid phases on fluid configuration and fluid-fluid interfacial area in porous media

Multiphase‐fluid distribution and flow is inherent in numerous areas of hydrology. Yet pore‐scale characterization of transitions between two and three immiscible fluids is limited. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of such transitions on the pore‐scale configuration of organic l...
