“…Furthermore, it has revealed a variety of pattern-forming processes emerging from the pore scale up to the system scale (Lenormand et al, 1983;Måløy et al, 1985;Méheust et al, 2002;Løvoll et al, 2004;Toussaint et al, 2005), typically governed by the interplay between viscous, capillary, and gravitational forces. The structures have shown to exhibit a complex behavior, characterized by its rich intermittent dynamics (Clotet et al, 2016;Furuberg et al, 1988;Måløy et al, 1992;Moura et al, 2020;Moura, Måløy, Flekkøy, et al, 2017;Planet et al, 2009). We study two phase flow in a quasi two-dimensional (2-D) porous confinement and look at the simple case of drainage at pore scale, where a nonwetting phase displaces a wetting one.…”
