Numerical Analysis of Foam Motion in Porous Media Using a New Stochastic Bubble Population Model

We present a numerical analysis of the stochastic population balance (SPB) theory for foam motion in porous media. The theory condenses into a set of non-linear partial differential equations in the saturation, pressure and bubble density. We solve the equations using the IMPES method and perform sensitivity analysis. Finally, we compare the saturation profiles obtained numerically with those obtained from CT scan foam experiments.
