Abstract: | The transport coefficients in the coupled equations of two-phase flow are defined if the pressure gradient in one of the two
flowing fluids is equal to zero. This definition has been used in experiments with oil and water in a sandpack and the four
transport coefficients have been measured over wide water saturation ranges. The values of the cross coefficients were found
to be significant as they ranged from 10 to 35% of the value of the effective permeability to water and from 5 to 15% of the
effective permeability to oil, respectively. |
