Abstract: | Percolation models of one-phase and two-phase flow through porous media are extended to the three-phase case. The characteristic regions of realization of one-phase, two-phase and three-phase flow are determined, Relative phase permeability calculations are presented for a model capillary radial density function. The theory is compared with the available experimental data.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 109–114, January–February, 1989. |
