Bjørnar Sandnes – Swansea University
1st July marked the start of our new project ‘Frictional flow patterns shaped by viscous and capillary forces (FriicFlow)’, funded by EPSRC.
The project is a collaboration between the Complex Flow Lab, Prof. Chris MacMinn at University of Oxford and Prof. Eirik Flekkøy and Prof. Knut Jørgen Måløy at the Norwegian PoreLab Centre of Excellence.
