Trapping patterns during capillary displacements in disordered media

We investigate the impact of wettability distribution, pore size distribution and pore geometry on the statistical behaviour of trapping in pore-throat networks during capillary displacement. Through theoretical analyses and numerical simulations, we propose and prove that the trapping patterns, defined as the percentage and distribution of trapped elements, are determined by four dimensionless control parameters. The range of all possible trapping patterns and how the patterns are dependent on the four parameters are obtained. The results help us to understand the impact of wettability and structure on trapping behaviour in disordered media.

Mesoporous Perovskite Titanates via Hydrothermal Conversion

We demonstrate the successful hydrothermal conversion of mesoporous TiO2 to mesoporous perovskite SrTiO3. This method allows for control of pore size distribution and can be readily applied for the preparation...
