Medium wettability plays the main role during spontaneous imbibition (SI) in fractured porous media; however, one can rarely find pore-scale studies addressing wettability effects on this process. In present work Cahn–Hilliard ...

Spontaneous imbibition is well-known to be of the most effective processes of oil recovery in fractured reservoirs. However, the detailed pore-scale mechanisms of counter-current imbibition process and the effects of ...

This work assesses conservative level set method (LSM) and Cahn–Hilliard phase field method (PFM) in modeling 2D two-phase flow through porous media, based on their ability to capture different phenomena associated with the medium permeability...

In this work, coupled Cahn-Hilliard phase field and Navier–Stokes equations were solved using finite element method to address the effects of micro-fracture and its characterizations on water-oil displacements in a ...

Series of numerical simulations were done to quantify the effects of pore structure approximations on micro-scale displacement mechanisms. Coupled Cahn–Hilliard phase field and Navier–Stokes equations were solved using ...

This paper addresses one of the major

challenges in water-flooded oil reservoirs, which

is early water breakthrough due to the presence

of high permeable layers in the media. COMSOL

This paper addresses simulation of non-isothermal water-oil displacements in porous media at porescale.

The simulation approach was done by coupling Cahn–Hilliard phase field and heat equations using
