Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Immiscible Two Phase Flow at the Pore Scale
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Modeling multiphase flow at the pore scale is of interest to better understand and predict the complex flow dynamics in large-scale natural porous media. Based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), we simulated the flow of two immiscible fluids in 2D and 3D pore spaces. LBM simulations seem to capture the essential physics associated with imbibition and drainage processes at the pore scale. In order to model the evolution of immiscible two-phase flow in the presence of viscosity and density differences, a great deal of effort is still needed, including physically motivated models of solid-fluid contact lines and accurate resolution of fluid-fluid interfaces.
