Key Points

Yield-stress fluids face challenges in penetrating non-wetting materials, affecting fluid dynamics and efficiency.
Capillary pressure must be overcome to initiate fluid flow through hydrophobic porous solids, crucial for various applications.
Understanding these pressures can inform better designs in industries dealing with fluid transfer through porous materials.
The findings may contribute to improving techniques for managing fluid behaviors in complex industrial systems.

Implication

Demonstrates that capillary and priming pressures affect penetration of yield-stress fluids, indicating industrial implications.

Abstract

Forcing hydrophilic fluids through hydrophobic porous solids is a recurrent industrial challenge.If the penetrating fluid is Newtonian, the imposed pressure has to overcome the capillary pressure at the fluid-air interface...
