Understanding multiphase flow in geological porous materials is central to the safe storage of CO 2 underground (Jeddizahed & Rostami, 2016;Streit & Hillis, 2004) and successful containment of contaminants in the subsurface (McCarthy, 2018). Complex flow dynamics arise from fluid-fluid and fluid-solid interactions over multiple length and time scales (Bultreys et al., 2016;Krevor et al., 2015;Pentland et al., 2011). The underlying pore-scale physics are considered to be mainly controlled by the competition between capillary forces and viscous forces (Chen et al., 2018;Panda et al., 2019;Spurin et al., 2019b). The ratio of these two forces expressed by means of the capillary number (Ca = μv/σ) is commonly used to differentiate between flow regimes. In the majority of subsurface porous medium applications, the fluid flow is very slow, resulting in capillary numbers <10 −7 (Bultreys, 2016).At the Darcy scale, multiphase flow in porous media is described using averaged properties such as capillary pressure and relative permeability (Lin et al., 2018;Parker, 1989;Zahasky et al., 2020), ignoring fluctuations at the pore scale. However, recent observations at the pore-scale have shown that complex interface dynamics occur even during so-called "steady-state" flow, where the average fluid saturation of the system remains constant (Reynolds et al., 2017;Zou et al., 2018). For example, fluid phases can rearrange and periodically disconnect and reconnect in a process called intermittent pathway flow, or intermittency (Gao et al., 2019;Reynolds et al., 2017;Spurin et al., 2019a). This influences the energy dissipation in the system and, therefore, impacts the averaged behavior at larger scales (Rücker et al., 2021). Thus, the assumption of static interfaces in quasi-static models or continuum frameworks may not be accurate. These phenomena occur even in capillary dominated flow regimes that are commonly assumed to be quasi-static, especially when the viscosity ratio (i.e., ratio of nonwetting phase viscosity to wetting phase viscosity) of the two fluids is very low, as for liquid-gas flows. Previous studies, in small mm-scale samples found intermittent pathway flow was most common, and important to fluid connectivity, at capillary numbers around 10 −8 -10 −6 , with the percentage of intermittently-occupied pores increasing with capillary number, and heterogeneity of the pore space (Spurin et al., 2019a(Spurin et al., , 2019b.
