Interfacial Hydration Improves Transport Capacity of Shale Oil within Montmorillonite Nanoconfinements
Fluid transport within clay nanopores is governed by nanoscale interfacial interactions and can deviate from continuum flow theory because of strong adsorption and mineral–fluid friction. Here, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations probe shale oil transport in Na-montmorillonite nanopores. Pure n-octane simul...
