Phase space study of viscous fingering and saturation pre- and post-breakthrough using lattice Boltzmann simulations of two-phase flow

Abstract Viscous fingering is the occurrence of narrow fingers of an invading less viscous fluid such as water in a porous medium filled with a more viscous fluid such as oil, and its occurrence dramatically affects enhanced oil recovery by water flooding. We conduct 2D simulations using the lattice...
