Effective Equations for Two-Phase Flow with Trapping on the Micro Scale
In this paper we consider water-drive for recovering oil from a strongly heterogeneous porous column. The two-phase model uses Corey relative permeabilities and Brooks–Corey capillary pressure. The heterogeneities are perpendicular to the flow and have a periodic structure. This results in one-dimensional flow and a space periodic absolute permeability, reflecting alternating coarse and fine la...
متن کاملEffective equations for two-phase flow in porous media : the effect of trapping at the micro scale
In this paper we consider a two-phase flow model in a heterogeneous porous column. The medium consists of many homogeneous layers that are perpendicular to the flow direction and have a periodic structure. Trapping may occur at the interface between a coarse and a fine layer. Assuming that capillary effects caused by the surface tension are in balance with the transport, we apply the homogeniza...
متن کاملModelling capillary trapping using finite-volume simulation of two-phase flow directly on micro-CT images
We study capillary trapping in porous media using direct pore-scale simulation of two-phase flow on microCT images of a Berea sandstone and a sandpack. The trapped non-wetting phase saturations are predicted by solving the full Navier–Stokes equations using a volume-of-fluid based finite-volume framework to simulate primary drainage followed by water injection. Using these simulations, we analy...
متن کاملPore Scale Modeling of Two-phase Flow
In this paper, we compare predictions of several pore-scale codes for singleand two-phase flow for the first time. Firstly, two implementations of lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) and a finite-difference based code (FDDA) predict single-phase flow in Fontainebleau sandstone and dolomite samples. We then obtain pore-scale drainage for two fluid phase configurations using a novel level set method b...
متن کاملHomogenization of the degenerate two-phase flow equations
We analyze two-phase flow in highly heterogeneous media. Problems related to the degeneracy of the permeability coefficient functions are treated with a new concept of weighted solutions. Instead of the pressure variables we formulate the problem with the weighted pressure function ψ, which is obtained as the product of permeability and pressure. We perform the homogenization limit and obtain e...
