Abstract:This study aims to develop a fractal model for the dynamic imbibition (DI) process in tight porous media. We developed the model by coupling the dynamic contact angle (DCA) into the DI model at capillary and core scales. A numerical method was proposed to solve the developed model. We then validated the model against experimental data reported in the literature. The results show a relatively satisfying fitting between our DI model and experimental data. We also compared the imbibition rate and oil recovery pre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
