During the production of heavy oil reservoirs, the movement of the fluids, namely oil and
water, significantly affects the production rates. This movement is influenced by the mobility …

Abstract The modeling of Viscous Fingering (VF) is of interest to the study of multiphase flow
in porous media, especially in the O&G industry, where this phenomenon is one of the root …

The flow through a Hele–Shaw cell is an experimental prototype to study the flow through a
porous medium as well as the flow in microfluidic devices. In context with porous medium …

Viscous fingering phenomenon in porous media has a great impact on industrial processes,
such as enhanced oil recovery processes. The previous experimental works mainly used …

The objective of this paper is to numerically study the flow in heavy oil reservoir with water
drive. The main focus is to investigate the viscous fingering phenomenon and how it affects …

Oil recovery prediction and field pilot implementations require basic understanding and
estimation of displacement efficiency at the microscopic level. Glass micromodels are …

When a reactive and miscible less-viscous liquid displaces a more-viscous liquid in a Hele-
Shaw cell, reactive miscible viscous fingering takes place. We succeed in showing …

In our previous study, we experimentally studied the effects of increased or decreased
viscosity of the more-viscous liquid caused by chemical reactions at a very high Damköhler …

We have succeeded in experimentally investigating the effects of a moderate Damköhler
number, Da (defined as the ratio between a characteristic time of fluid motion and that of a …

In miscible flooding, injection of solvent is often combined with water to reduce the mobility
contrast between injected and displaced fluids and control the degree of fingering. Using …
