National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Fundamental Studies of Fluid Mechanics: Stability in Porous Media. (Final Report).

DE2006839241

Publication Date	2005
Personal Author	Homsy, G. M.
Page Count	12
Abstract	The work has been concerned with theoretical, computational and experimental studies of a variety of flow and transport problems that are of generic interest and applicability in energy-related and energy-intensive processes. These include the following: (1) Problems associated with oil recovery: the global economy continues to be dependent on the stable and predictable supply of oil and fossil fuels; (2) Small scale and Stokes flows: flows in microgeometrics and involving interfaces and surfactants are of interest in a myriad of energy-related contexts; and (3) Coating flows: these are of interest in information technologies, including the manufacture of integrated circuits and data storage and retrieval devices.
Keywords	Fluid mechanics Porous materials Petroleum Fossil fuels Stability Enhanced recovery Viscous flow Fluid flow Interfaces Surfactants Transport theory Information technology
