Abstract

Examines the difference in phase continuity between spreading and nonspreading oils at low saturation by measuring the oil phase effective diffusivity. Demonstration of higher effective diffusivities by 1-octanol than the n-dodecane; Development of models for predicting the behavior of the oils in the unsaturated porous medium.
