Analytical trust gates — beyond Buckley-Leverett

Three closed-form references the kernel must reproduce: capillary imbibition (McWhorter-Sunada), areal sweep (Morel-Seytoux 5-spot), and radial transient pressure (Theis). Drift-guards already lock the libs; this page lets you tune inputs and read the textbook invariants.

McWhorter-Sunada — 1-D capillary imbibition

Q_w(t) = A · √t · | self-similar in x/√t

Semi-infinite core, water imbibes from x=0 against an oil-saturated matrix with no viscous gradient. Front advances ∝ √t (slope ≈ 0.5 on log-log).
