Two-phase flows involving capillary barriers in heterogeneous porous media
We consider a simplified model of a two-phase flow through a heterogeneous porous medium, in which the convection is neglected. This leads to a nonlinear degenerate parabolic problem in a domain shared in an arbitrary finite number of homogeneous porous media. We introduce a new way to connect capillary pressures on the interfaces between the homogeneous domains, which leads to a general notion...
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...
متن کاملSaturation dependence of dispersion in porous media.
In this study, we develop a saturation-dependent treatment of dispersion in porous media using concepts from critical path analysis, cluster statistics of percolation, and fractal scaling of percolation clusters. We calculate spatial solute distributions as a function of time and calculate arrival time distributions as a function of system size. Our previous results correctly predict the range ...
متن کاملCapillary pressure-saturation relations in porous media including the effect of wettability
In this work a functional relationship between capillary pressure and wetting phase saturation has been developed. Both the imbibition and drainage of a wetting phase liquid into a porous medium consisting of clean unconsolidated silica particles have been considered. In all, two bead packings, with average particle diameters of 120 #m and 360 #In, and three liquids--water, ethanol, and refrige...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Three-Phase Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
We describe an efficient numerical simulator, based on an operator splitting technique, for three-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media that takes into account capillary forces, general relations for the relative permeability functions and variable porosity and permeability fields. Our numerical procedure combines a non-oscillatory, second order, conservative central difference scheme for th...
