Dataset for "Modelling the Drying Process of CO-Water in Porous Media with a Novel Volume-of-Fluid Lattice Boltzmann Model"

This dataset supports the study presented in the manuscript “Modelling the Drying Process of CO2-Water in Porous Media with a Novel Volume-of-Fluid Lattice Boltzmann Model,” submitted to Water Resources Research. It includes simulation results for both 2D and 3D cases of drying and multiphase flow in capillary structures. Each case provides time-resolved .vti files capturing key physical fields such as velocity, pressure, and phase distribution, enabling detailed analysis and visualisation. The dataset also contains a series of processed Excel files used in generating figures and analyses in the manuscript: Capillary head vs Saturation Saturation over Time Velocity Distribution Validation Data for Drying in Capillary Tubes Random Circle Packing (geometry data for simulations) This collection enables independent evaluation and replication of the published results. The numerical methodology and modelling framework are fully described in the manuscript.
