Wettability Alteration Study for Two Phase Flow in Porous Media
Wettability of pores plays an important role in two-phase flow in porous media. In the case of oil recovery, it has been found from both laboratory experiments and field tests that deviation of reservoir wettability from strongly water-wet conditions either can increase or decrease in oil recovery efficiency which indicates a possible range of wettability change [1]. In this present work, the e...
متن کاملSteady-state, simultaneous two-phase flow in porous media: experiment and simulation
We report on experimental and numerical studies of steady-state two-phase flow in a quasi twodimensional porous medium. Experimentally, the wetting and the non-wetting phase are injected simultaneously from alternating inlet points into a Hele-Shaw cell containing one layer of randomly distributed glass beads, initially saturated with wetting fluid. Transient behavior is observed in time and sp...
متن کاملSteady-state two-phase flow in porous media: statistics and transport properties.
We study experimentally the case of steady-state simultaneous two-phase flow in a quasi-two-dimensional porous media. The dynamics is dominated by the interplay between a viscous pressure field from the wetting fluid and bubble transport of a less viscous, nonwetting phase. In contrast with more studied displacement front systems, steady-state flow is in equilibrium, statistically speaking. The...
متن کاملInvasion patterns during two-phase flow in deformable porous media
We study the formation of viscous fingering and fracturing patterns that occur when air at constant overpressure invades a circular Hele-Shaw cell containing a liquid-saturated deformable porous medium—i.e., during the flow of two non-miscible fluids in a confined granular medium at high enough rate to deform it. The resulting patterns are characterized in terms of growth rate, average finger t...
متن کاملA New Approach for Constructing Pore Network Model of Two Phase Flow in Porous Media
Development of pore network models for real porous media requires a detailed understanding of physical processes occurring on the microscopic scale and a complete description of porous media morphology. In this study, the microstructure of porous media has been represented by three dimensional networks of interconnected pores and throats which are designed by an object oriented approach. Af...
