Simulation of Counter-Current Imbibition Phenomenon with Corey’s Model in Double Phase Flow Through Heterogeneous Porous Medium with Capillary Pressure

Abstract

In this paper, the counter-current imbibition phenomena with gravity, inclination effect and with Corey’s model in heterogeneous porous media is discussed and Adomian decomposition method is applied to find the saturation rate of wetting phase and the recovery rate for both medium. Finally a simulation result is developed to study the saturation and recovery rate of the oil reservoir with dimensionless time for some interesting choices of parametric data with gravity and inclination effect. This problem has a great importance in oil recovery process.
