oa Simulations of Multiphase Flow in Naturally Heterogeneous Rocks

In this paper we present results of network flow simulations with heterogeneity corresponding to naturally occurring sedimentary rocks. Correlations were generated using fractional Brownian motion, fractional Lévy motion and multifractals. Flow simulations were based on two-phase capillary driven invasion percolation in three dimensional networks. Results for breakthrough saturation, residual saturation and relative permeability curves for correlated networks are compared to uncorrelated networks
