Effects of Gravity and Inlet/Outlet Location on a Two-Phase Cocurrent Imbibition in Porous Media
We introduce 2D numerical investigations of the problem of gravity and inlet/outlet location effects of water-oil two-phase cocurrent imbibition in a porous medium. Three different cases of side-, top-, and bottom-inlet location are considered. Two-dimensional computations are carried out using the finite element method. Intensive comparisons are done between considering and neglecting gravity ...
متن کاملAn Analytical Solution for One-dimensional Horizontal Imbibition in a Cocurrent Flow
Cocurrent spontaneous imbibition (COCSI) of an aqueous phase into matrix blocks arising from capillary forces is an important mechanism for petroleum recovery from fractured petroleum reservoirs. In this work, the modeling of countercurrent imbibition is used to develop the appropriate scaling equations. Considering the imbibition process and the water and oil movement respectively as the wet p...
متن کاملFinite volume approximation for an immiscible two-phase flow in porous media with discontinuous capillary pressure
We consider an immiscible incompressible two-phase flow in a porous medium composed of two different rocks so that the capillary pressure field is discontinuous at the interface between the rocks. This leads us to apply a concept of multi-valued phase pressures and a notion of weak solution for the flow which have been introduced in [Cancès & Pierre, SIAM J. Math. Anal, 44(2):966–992, 2012]. We...
متن کاملSolutions to a Model for Compressible Immiscible Two Phase Flow in Porous Media
In this article, we study the existence of solutions to a nonlinear degenerate system modelling the displacement of two-phase compressible immiscible flow in a three dimensional porous media. The aim of this work is to treat the model with its general form with the whole nonlinear terms. Especially, we consider the case where the density of each phase depends on its corresponding pressure. We d...
متن کاملThe gradient flow structure for incompressible immiscible two-phase flows in porous media
We show that the widely used model governing the motion of two incompressible immiscible fluids in a possibly heterogeneous porous medium has a formal gradient flow structure. More precisely, the fluid composition is governed by the gradient flow of some non-smooth energy. Starting from this energy together with a dissipation potential, we recover the celebrated DarcyMuskat law and the capillar...
