Abstract
Flow and retention of polymer in porous media result in an unexpected reduction in medium permeability. Our experiment and simulation of polymer retention show that these changes are a direct consequence of pore blockage and diversion of flow through the medium. Despite the complex changes in flow after polymer retention, we introduce a simple scaling for the distribution of pore-level velocities based on the bulk permeability of the medium.
