Abstract
Capillary effects can be important in immiscible flow in heterogeneous media, particularly at low capillary numbers. Experiments are performed to study steady-state saturation profiles during drainage in 3D porous media with sharp changes in permeability. It is found that the saturation response is closely linked to the permeability variation. The results are in good agreement with numerical simulations based on a macroscopic description.
