Popis: | Based on non-equilibrium thermodynamics we derive a set of general equations relating the partial volumetric flow rates to each other and to the total volumetric flow rate in immiscible two-phase flow in porous media. These equations together with the conservation of saturation reduces the immiscible two-phase flow problem to a single-phase flow problem of a complex fluid. We discuss the new equation in terms of the relative permeability equations. We test the equations on model systems, both analytically and numerically. Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures |
