Optimal Wetting Angles in Lattice Boltzmann Simulations of Viscous Fingering

Abstract We conduct pore-scale simulations of two-phase flow using the 2D Rothman-Keller colour gradient lattice Boltzmann method to study the effect of wettability on saturation at breakthrough (sweep) when the injected fluid first passes through the right boundary of the model. We performed a suit...
