Effects of converging-diverging pore geometry on the acidizing process with non-Newtonian Carreau-type fluids

ABG Motta, VG dos Santos, VF Ventura… - Chemical Engineering …, 2023 - Elsevier
Acidification is a procedure to enhance production of oil wells, where acids with non-
Newtonian properties are used. We performed simulations in an idealized converging …
