Relative permeability and capillary pressure functions of porous media as related to the displacement growth pattern
Visualization experiments of the unsteady immiscible displacement of a fluid by another are performed on glass-etched pore networks of well-controlled morphology by varying the fluid system and flow conditions. The measured transient responses of the fluid saturation and pressure drop across the porous medium are introduced into numerical solvers of the macroscopic two-phase flow equations to e...
متن کاملPore-scale Simulation of High-density-ratio Multiphase Flows in Porous Media Using Lattice Boltzmann Method
A lattice Boltzmann high-density-ratio model, which uses diffuse interface theory to describe the interfacial dynamics and was proposed originally by Lee and Liu [T. Lee, L. Liu, Lattice Boltzmann simulations of micron-scale drop impact on dry surfaces, J. Comput. Phys. 229(2010) 8045-8063], is extended to simulate multiphase flows in porous media. A wetting boundary treatment is proposed for t...
متن کاملDynamics of stable viscous displacement in porous media
Immiscible displacement of one fluid by another fluid in porous media has important applications in a wide range of different technologies. Most often mentioned is hydrology and and oil recovery. From a theoretical point of view, the displacement process is very complex and hard to describe in detail. Especially, much attention has been paid to the rich variety of displacement structures that i...
متن کاملInvestigating Pore Scale Configurations of Two Immiscible Fluids via the Level Set Method
The study of pore level displacement of immiscible fluids has scientific appeal as well as many applications, notably in oil reservoir engineering and in subsurface environmental engineering. Pore network models have been used for numerical simulation of fluid displacement over relevant physical volume sizes. An accurate description of the mechanics of displacement could significantly improve t...
متن کاملPore-scale analysis of trapped immiscible fluid structures and fluid interfacial areas in oil-wet and water-wet bead packs
The objective of this study is to obtain quantitative evidence of pore-scale immiscible fluid distribution in oil-wet and water-wet porous media using X-ray computed microtomography. Temporal and spatial saturation profiles, as well as surface and interfacial areas, are thoroughly analyzed through cycles of drainage and imbibition using samples with different wetting characteristics but similar...
