Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media
A second example is also available for air and oil and builds on the above two-phase flow model for an air-water system. The switch from air-water to air-oil is accomplished with Leverett scaling of interfacial tensions for the different fluid pairs.
The final example of oil-water flow, from a multi-step inlet pressure experiment, builds on the two-phase flow model for an air-water system. The inlet pressure steps were evaluated with Leverett scaling of interfacial tensions for the different fluid pairs.
