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 …

We use magnetohydrodynamic levitation as a means to create a soft, elastomeric, solenoid-
driven pump (ESP). We present a theoretical framework and fabrication of a pump designed …

A finite difference–pseudo‐spectral (FD–PS) algorithm is developed to simulate the viscous
fingering instability in high mobility‐ratio (MR) miscible displacements. This novel algorithm …

The physics of miscible flow displacements with unfavorable mobility ratios through
horizontal layered heterogeneous media is investigated. The flow model is solved …

The miscible displacement of one fluid by another in a porous medium has received
considerable attention in subsurface, environmental and petroleum engineering …

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 …

Fingering instability triggered by injection of a less viscous fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell is
numerically investigated. Simulations are based on a diffuse-interface method, and the …

The interfacial instability between miscible fluids in a channel is determined by many factors,
such as viscosity contrast and the inclination angle. Considering the effect of the gravity field …

Excessive water production in mature heavy oil fields causes incremental costs, energy
consumption, and inefficiency. Understanding multiphase flows near the wellbore is an …

In this study, the effect of anisotropy of porous media on Saffman–Taylor instability (viscous
fingering instability) of viscoelastic fluids is investigated for the first time. The Oldroyd-B …
