A myriad of empirical and phenomenological constitutive models that describe different observed rheologies of complex fluids have been developed over many decades. With each …
Abstract Series of numerical simulations were done to quantify the effects of pore structure approximations on micro-scale displacement mechanisms. Coupled Cahn–Hilliard phase …
Foam has been successfully used for different operations like well stimulation, drilling, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), cleanout, and acidizing operations in the oil and gas industry …
In this study, the effect of different parameters on the fluid transport in a fractured micromodel has been investigated. All experiments in this study have been conducted in a glass …
