Testing a simple model of gas bubble dynamics in porous media

Bubble dynamics in porous media are of great importance in industrial and natural systems. Of particular significance is the impact that bubble‐related emissions (ebullition) of greenhouse gases from porous media could have on global climate (e.g., wetland methane emissions). Thus, predictions of fu...

Zusammenfassung:Bubble dynamics in porous media are of great importance in industrial and natural systems. Of particular significance is the impact that bubble‐related emissions (ebullition) of greenhouse gases from porous media could have on global climate (e.g., wetland methane emissions). Thus, predictions of future changes in bubble storage, movement, and ebullition from porous media are needed. Methods exist to predict ebullition using numerical models, but all existing models are limited in scale (spatial and temporal) by high computational demands or represent porous media simplistically. A suitable model is needed to simulate ebullition at scales beyond individual pores or relatively small collections (
