Content
Capillary pressure, wettability and hysteresis in a porous medium; Young-Laplace equation, Kelvin equation, colloid and surface chemistry, stability of thin films, quantification of wettability, correlations, scaling groups for imbibition, Barenblatt model.
Learning outcome
The course should give students deeper insights and knowledge related to some of these scientific themes:
- The effect of wettability on natural science processes.
- Chemical components and physical properties affecting wetting.
- Description of wetting
- Surface wettability and hysteresis
- Capillary forces in porous medium
- Modelling of wettability processes
The course contains themes on an advanced level leading the candidate to the research front in his/her selected themes.
