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 کاملMultiple scale structure of non wetting fluid invasion fronts in 3D model porous media
2014 We report experimental measurements on the structure of invasion fronts obtained by slow vertical injection of liquid, non wetting, Wood metal into non consolidated crushed glass. The geometry of plane cuts of the invasion front both parallel and perpendicular to the flow direction is analysed. The structure of perpendicular cuts is self similar in a length scale range of 1 to 20 with a fr...
متن کاملStabilizing fluid–fluid displacements in porous media through wettability alteration
We study experimentally how wettability impacts fluid–fluid displacement patterns in granular media. We inject a low-viscosity fluid (air) into a thin bed of glass beads initially saturated with a more-viscous fluid (a water/glycerol mixture). Chemical treatment of glass surfaces allows us to control the wetting properties of the medium and modify the contact angle θ from 5 deg (drainage) to 12...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of the Permeability and Inertial Effect on Fluid Flow through Homogeneous Porous Media
The value of the permeability in fluid flow through porous media is important for process investigation. In low Reynolds number, the classic Darcy’s law is suitable for simulation of fluid flow. In this paper, an experimental study for evaluation of preformed fiber permeability has been done. Also, the deviations from the classical Darcy law by experimental and numerical simulation of the N...
متن کاملAn Improved Model to Simulate Mud (Drilling Fluid) Dispersion through Porous Media
An improved model of mud dispersion has been introduced in this work. The advantages of this model consist of a new analytical correlation for dispersivity by using resistivity log data and using a new aspect of capacitance dispersion model. Mathematical formulations were expressed, solved by numerical model taking advantage of actual log and formation data. Achieved results yielded r...
