Two-dimensional counter-current capillary imbibition of a wetting phase into a partially submerged porous cylindrical matrix block
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to address the two-dimensional counter-current capillary dominant imbibition of a wetting phase into a water-wet porous cylindrical matrix block partially submerged in the wetting phase. A two-dimensional unsteady-state diffusion equation is used to model the process. The governing equation is solved using a combination of the Laplace and the finite Fourier sine transforms to find and analyze the solutions for the normalized water saturation and the volume of the imbibed wetting phase. The results reveal that the volume of the imbibed wetting phase and the capillary diffusion shape factor for a partially submerged matrix block are significantly lower compared to those of a fully submerged matrix block, highlighting the overestimation of imbibed volume using available models based on full immersion in the wetting phase. It has been observed that the volume of the imbibed wetting phase increases over time until reaching a state of equilibrium. In the case of a partially submerged matrix block, the shape factor is inversely proportional to the square root of time (σ ∼ 1/t) during the early time and decreases sharply as the imbibed wetting phase reaches an equilibrium. In the case of a fully submerged matrix block, the shape factor is inversely proportional to the square root of time (σ ∼ 1/t) during the early time and later reaches a pseudo-steady-state value. The proposed model, along with the findings obtained, advances our understanding of capillary imbibition in porous media.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
