Abstract
The first part of this paper reviews some of the processes involved in extracting oil from underground reservoirs. Typical magnitudes of the quantities relevant to the fluid mechanics are given. The second part of the paper describes recent studies which aim at generalising Darcy’s law to the flow of two immiscible fluids through a porous medium.
