Multiphase Flow and Multiphysics Process in Porous Media

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Fluids focuses on recent advances and developments in the theoretical, experimental, and numerical investigations of multiphase flow and multiphysics processes in porous media. Multiphase flow and multiphysics phenomena in porous media commonly arise in a variety of  fields such as resources, energy, environment, chemical, and bioscience with applications to oil/gas reservoirs, coalbed gas reservoirs, land subsidence, carbon capture and storage, nuclear waste disposal, enhanced geothermal systems, geophysics, biomechanical engineering, PEM fuel cells, and other poromechanics problems. Due to their complicated nature, the underlying mechanisms of multiphase flow and multiphysics processes in porous media remain a challenging issue. In this SI, we invite you to contribute original research articles as well as review papers, and short communications. In particular, topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Multiphase flow theory in porous and fractured reservoirs;
• Multiphysics (e.g., hydromechanical, thermo-hydromechanical, thermo-hydromechanical–chemical processes) theory in porous media;
• Advanced experimental and modelling methods on the nano/micro/RVE/field scales;
• Heat and mass transfer in multiphase flow and multiphysics problems;
• Constitutive relations in multiphysics processes;
• Enhanced oil/gas recovery.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fluids is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
