Coreflood refers to a laboratory technique used in petroleum engineering and geomechanics to study the flow of fluids through porous media, typically rocks or sediments. In a coreflood experiment, a cylindrical core sample, which represents a section of a reservoir rock, is subjected to conditions that mimic those found in subsurface environments.
