De, S. (author), Koesen, S. P. (author), Maitri, R. V. (author), Golombok, M. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), van Santvoort, J. F.M. (author)We compare the flow behavior of viscoelastic surfactant (VES) solutions and Newtonian fluids through two different model porous media having similar permeability: (a) a 3D random packed bed and (b) a microchannel with a periodically spaced pillars. The former provides much larger flow resistance at the same apparent shear rate compared to the...journal article 2018

(author), Alves, M.A. (author)In this study, two microfluidic devices are proposed as simplified 1-D microfluidic analogues of a porous medium. The objectives are twofold: firstly to assess the usefulness of the microchannels to mimic the porous medium in a controlled and simplified manner, and secondly to obtain a better insight about the flow characteristics of...journal article 2011
