Abstract
The foarn has well-known applications in oil recovery [1]. Applying foam-based methods in IOR requires accurate prediction of it performance which is impossible without an adequate treatment of foam flow. We suggest that a presence of foam in porous media transforms an original capillary size distribution to an effective one. The aim of this paper is to investigate roles of this kind of transformation.
