Fluid invasion in porous media: viscous gradient percolation.
We suggest that the dynamics of stable viscous invasion fronts in porous media depends on the volume capacitance of the media. At high volume capacitance, our network simulations provide numerical evidence of a scaling relation between the front width and its velocity. In the low volume capacitance regime, we derive a new effective scaling supported by network simulations and that is in agreeme...
متن کاملDynamics of viscous penetration in percolation porous media.
We investigate the dynamics of viscous penetration in two-dimensional percolation networks at criticality for the case in which the ratio between the viscosities of displaced and injected fluids is very large. We report extensive numerical simulations that indicate that the scaling exponents for the breakthrough time distribution are the same as the previously reported values computed for the c...
متن کاملInvasion Percolation in Presence of Gravity
Simultaneous capillary dominated displacement of the wetting and non-wetting phases are processes of interest in many disciplines including modeling of the penetration of polluting liquids in hydrology or the secondary migration in petroleum reservoir engineering. Percolation models and in particular invasion percolation is well suited to characterize the slow immiscible displaceme...
متن کاملA model for enhanced fluid percolation in porous media by application of low-frequency elastic waves
[1] Numerous observations and laboratory experiments suggest that elastic vibrations can significantly enhance transport of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) in porous media. Our analyses suggest that in the low-frequency range, capillary forces and nonlinear rheology of the fluid may be predominant mechanisms of vibratory stimulation. Consequently, a model of these mechanisms is built to explai...
متن کاملImpact of viscous fingering and permeability heterogeneity on fluid mixing in porous media
Fluid mixing plays a fundamental role in many natural and engineered processes, including groundwater flows in porous media, enhanced oil recovery, and microfluidic lab-on-a-chip systems. Recent developments have explored the effect of viscosity contrast on mixing, suggesting that the unstable displacement of fluids with different viscosities, or viscous fingering, provides a powerful mechanism...
