Spontaneous Imbibition

Spontaneous Imbibition is a capillary-driven fluid displacement process in which a wetting phase is autonomously drawn into a porous medium without external pressure, driven by surface energy differences, thereby altering fluid distribution in naturally fractured reservoirs.
