Getting out of a tight spot: Cooperative unclogging of hydrogel particles in disordered porous media

We use event-driven pore network modeling to study the transport of hydrogel particles through disordered porous media—a process that underlies diverse applications. By simulating particle advection, deformation, and clogging at the pore scale, we identify a dimensionless “squeezing parameter” that...
