Abstract

Two mathematical models of filtration coalescence of oil drops when a water-oil mixture moves through a porous material are proposed. In the first model, coalescence is interpreted as the process of sorption, i.e., the accumulation of the oil phase on the pore surface up to a definite critical value above which the larger drops involved by a filtration flow stall. The second model assumes that the motion of the sorbed oil and the entire mixture obeys the generalized Darcy laws.
