Awards & Achievements

2000 - Member of the National Academy of Engineering For contributions to understanding of complex multicomponent flows in porous media and its applications to the design of enhanced oil recovery processes; and for superb academic leadership.

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics
  • Organic chemistry

His main research concerns Mechanics, Porous medium, Carbon sequestration, Fossil fuel and Carbon dioxide. The Mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Saturation, Wetting, Gravity and Capillary action. His study explores the link between Porous medium and topics such as Multiphase flow that cross with problems in Relative permeability and Scaling.

The various areas that Franklin M. Orr examines in his Fossil fuel study include Basic sediment and water, Carbon dioxide flooding, Enhanced oil recovery and Steam injection. His research in Carbon dioxide flooding tackles topics such as Barrel of oil equivalent which are related to areas like Petroleum engineering. His studies in Carbon dioxide integrate themes in fields like Seawater and Negative carbon dioxide emission.

His most cited work include:

  • Impact of relative permeability hysteresis on geological CO2 storage (556 citations)
  • Onset of convection in a gravitationally unstable diffusive boundary layer in porous media (534 citations)
  • Pendular rings between solids: meniscus properties and capillary force (434 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Franklin M. Orr mainly investigates Thermodynamics, Mechanics, Petroleum engineering, Miscibility and Displacement. Franklin M. Orr interconnects Decane, Phase and Method of characteristics in the investigation of issues within Thermodynamics. He combines subjects such as Gravity, Finite difference, Capillary action and Porous medium with his study of Mechanics.

The concepts of his Porous medium study are interwoven with issues in Multiphase flow, Two-phase flow and Computer simulation. His Petroleum engineering research includes themes of Saturation, Fossil fuel, Waste management and Petroleum. His work in Displacement tackles topics such as Mineralogy which are related to areas like Flow, Hydrate, Clathrate hydrate, Seawater and Carbon dioxide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Thermodynamics (25.00%)
  • Mechanics (23.17%)
  • Petroleum engineering (18.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2021)?

  • Thermodynamics (25.00%)
  • Mechanics (23.17%)
  • Miscibility (14.63%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Thermodynamics, Mechanics, Miscibility, Phase and Surface tension. His Thermodynamics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Flow and Method of characteristics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gravity current, Gravity and Porous medium in addition to Mechanics.

His Gravity research incorporates elements of Capillary action and Analytical chemistry. His Phase study incorporates themes from Petroleum reservoir, Conservation law and Coalbed methane. His Multiphase flow study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Leak and Water saturation.

Between 2005 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impact of relative permeability hysteresis on geological CO2 storage (556 citations)
  • Onset of convection in a gravitationally unstable diffusive boundary layer in porous media (534 citations)
  • Gravity currents with residual trapping (238 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics
  • Organic chemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Porous medium, Trapping and Surface tension. His study in Mechanics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gravity, Plume and Capillary action. His Plume study deals with Leak intersecting with Geotechnical engineering.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Instability and Linear stability. His Porous medium research incorporates themes from Saturation and Phase. His work on Parachor as part of general Surface tension research is frequently linked to Miscibility, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
