Tóm tắt

The process of displacement of a viscous fluid from a porous medium is simulated numerically with regard to the capillary effects. The surface area of the phase interface is calculated at each instant of time. The effect of the constitutive parameters on variation in the surface area of the phase interface is studied. The experiments on displacement of oil by water from Neocomian sandstones are described. The experimental data are compared with the results of the numerical simulation.
