Analytical and numerical investigations of spontaneous imbibition in porous media
Abstract
We present semianalytical solutions for cocurrent displacements with some degree of countercurrent flow. The solution assumes a one‐dimensional horizontal displacement of two immiscible incompressible fluids with arbitrary viscosities and saturation‐dependent relative permeability and capillary pressures. We address the impact of the system length on the degree of countercurrent flow when there is no pressure drop in the nonwetting phase across...
