Abstract
The presence of multiple physical phases in porous media gives rise to a number of challenging theoretical and experimental problems. From experimental point of view, these problems lie in the difficulty of making and interpreting measurements because many experimental methods, disturb or destroy the samples under measurement. In the paper we present some applications of two non-invasive techniques: Christiansen Effect and NMR-MRI to the study of Natural Convection and Multiphase Flows in Porous Media. The first technique, based on the relative variations of the optical indexes of the solid phase and of the fluid phase with the temperature, is applied to the visualization and the measurement of two dimensional thermal fields of Natural Convection in saturated porous media. The second, based on the decay or relaxation of the magnetization of the 1H proton, as a function of time, is applied to the study of the structure of porous materials and to the visualization of multiphase flows. In the two cases the physical basis of phenomena involved in the measurement techniques are previously described.
