oa A Lattice-Boltzmann Approach for the Modelling of Microscopic Three-Phase Flow Mechanisms

Utilizing a recently developed numerical technique, known as the lattice-Boltzmann method, we study immiscible three-phase flow at the pore scale. An important phenomenon at this scale is the spreading of oil onto the gas-water interface. In case of a spreading oil droplet, it is shown that the simulated flow dynamics agree with an analytical model.
