Dynamic wettability alteration in immiscible two-phase flow in porous media: Effect on transport properties and critical slowing down
The change in contact angles due to the injection of low salinity water or any other wettability altering agent in an oil-rich porous medium is modeled by a network model of disordered pores transporting two immiscible fluids. We introduce a dynamic wettability altering mechanism, where the time dep...
