Simulations of subsurface multiphase flow including polymer flooding in oil reservoirs and infiltration in vadose zone

With the depletion of oil reserves and increase in oil price, the enhanced oil recovery methods such as polymer flooding to increase oil production from water flooded fields are becoming more attractive. Effective design of these processes is challenging because the polymer chemistry has a strong ef...
