Pore network model is a widely used and high efficient method in the study of the micro-mechanism of Non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) transport in porous medium.Although pore network model experiment can give us get more knowledge about NAPLs transport in porous media, there are still many unknown aspects and unsolved problems. This paper describes the advances in NAPLs transport experiment in porous media based on pore network model. The relative reports consist of four parts, i.e., measuring pore structure of porous medium, fabricating pore network model, NAPLs transport experiment in network model and numerical simulation of NAPLs transport experiment. Through analyzing the literatures that are relation to pore network model experiments, we find some new technologies making good progress of network model experiment, such as advanced measuring technology of pore structure, image etching technology and visualization measuring method. In the end, the existing problems and development direction of pore network model experiment are analyzed, which may be useful for future research of NAPLs transport experiment in porous media based on pore network model.
