Analysis of Contact Angle in Capillary Invasion
The correct knowledge of the physical processes that control the fluid-fluid interface displacement at the pore-level is of increasing interest due to the growing possibility of direct simulation of immiscible displacement offered by the strong development of computers’ performance and numeric methods and to the increasing accuracy in three-dimensional reconstruction methods. Flow of immiscible...
متن کاملImaging of oil layers, curvature and contact angle in a mixed- wet and a water-wet carbonate rock
We have investigated the effect of wettability of carbonate rocks on the morphologies of remaining oil after sequential oil and brine injection in a capillary-dominated flow regime at elevated pressure. The wettability of Ketton limestone was altered in situ using an oil phase doped with fatty acid which produced mixed-wet conditions (the contact angle where oil contacted the solid surface, mea...
متن کاملThree-phase threshold capillary pressures in noncircular capillary tubes with different wettabilities including contact angle hysteresis.
We use the Helmholtz free energy balance and the Mayer-Stowe-Princen method to derive general expressions governing multiphase pistonlike displacements in noncircular capillary elements with arbitrary wettability. We take into account hysteresis in oil/water, gas/water, and gas/oil contact angles. We study both two- and three-phase systems. We find threshold capillary pressures for gas invasion...
متن کاملHysteresis of the Contact Angle of a Meniscus Inside a Capillary with Smooth, Homogeneous Solid Walls.
A theory of contact angle hysteresis of a meniscus inside thin capillaries with smooth, homogeneous solid walls is developed in terms of surface forces (disjoining/conjoining pressure isotherm) using a quasi-equilibrium approach. The disjoining/conjoining pressure isotherm includes electrostatic, intermolecular, and structural components. The values of the static receding θr, advancing θa, and ...
متن کاملRole of contact-angle hysteresis for fluid transport in wet granular matter.
The stability of sand castles is determined by the structure of wet granulates. Experimental data on the size distribution of fluid pockets are ambiguous with regard to their origin. We discovered that contact-angle hysteresis plays a fundamental role in the equilibrium distribution of bridge volumes, and not geometrical disorder as commonly conjectured. This has substantial consequences on the...
