4D Imaging of Two‐Phase Flow in Porous Media Using Laboratory‐Based Micro‐Computed Tomography by K. R. Tekseth, D. W. Breiby

“…An iterative reconstruction algorithm based on a priori information was used to provide high image quality and ∼30 s time resolution despite the few and low‐exposed projections compared to standard protocols. The experimental technique was demonstrated with imbibition and drainage in glass bead‐pack and Bentheimer sandstone samples with sub‐minute temporal resolution, allowing the liquid configurations just before and after fast dynamic phenomena such as cooperative pore‐filling events and Haines jumps to be captured. …”
