Dynamics of compression-driven gas-liquid displacement in a capillary tube (2112.12898v2)
Published 24 Dec 2021 in physics.flu-dyn and cond-mat.soft
Abstract: We study two-phase displacement via the steady compression of an air reservoir connected to an oil-filled capillary tube. Our experiments and modelling reveal complex displacement dynamics depending on compression rate and reservoir volume that, for large reservoirs, depend on a single dimensionless compressibility number. We identify two distinct displacement regimes, separated by a critical value of the compressibility number. While the subcritical regime exhibits quasi-steady displacement after an initial transient, the supercritical regime exhibits burst-like expulsion.
