Effect of Heterogeneity on Imbibition Phenomena in Fluid Flow through Porous Media with Different Porous Materials

[摘要] In this paper, the counter – current imbibition phenomena in a heterogeneous porous media is studied with the consideration of two types of porous materials like volcanic and fine sand and Adomian decomposition method is applied to find the saturation of wetting phase and the recovery rate of the reservoir. A simulation result is developed here to study the effect of heterogeneity, capillarity and relative permeability on saturation rate and to obtain an optimum recovery rate of the reservoir with the choices of some interesting parametric value.
