S. Fagbemi, P. Tahmasebi, and M. Piri (2019), “Strongly coupled Multiphase Flow-induced solid deformation using Finite Volume Method”, International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods inGeomechanics., Volume 44,Issue 2, DOI: 10.1002/nag.2999

COMPUTATIONAL DOMAINS (A)

Tetrahedral mesh grids used for the simulations. Solid matrix in light blue; pore space is dark blue.

FLOW THROUGH PORE SPACE (B)

Red color represents non-wetting phase (oil) displacing wetting phase (water) in Berea sandstone.
