Macroscopic Models for Viscous Fingering and their Validation for 2D and 3D-Flows
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The purpose of this thesis is to study viscous fingering behavior in miscible displacement of oil, in heterogeneous media, using high resolution simulation techniques. We analyse the physical characteristics of flow associated with fingering in 2D-heterogeneous studies. Our aim is to define a heterogeneity parameter (from simple cases simulated or from the permeability field parameters) and find a way to compute it accurately, We then introduce it in the modified Fayers model and test the new model on various heterogeneous cases in terms of its capability to predict miscible flood performances.
