Modeling of relative permeabilities including dynamic wettability transition zones

Wettability is a pore-scale property that impacts the relative movement and distribution of fluids in porous medium. There are reservoir provoke surface within pores to undergo wettability change. This change, turn, alters dynamics permeabilities at Darcy scale. Thus, modeling impact change essential understand interaction media. In this study, we include time-dependent into permeability–saturation relation by modifying existing permeability function. To do so, assume represented sorption-based model exposure time chemistry dependent. then coupled with triangular bundle-of-tubes simulate data. The simulated data used characterize quantify curves. study further shows importance accurate prediction dynamically altering • We develop framework upscale WA permeability--saturation relationship. Particularly, introduce alteration (WA) pore-level. model. induced Then, systematically dynamic
