Oil is being displaced by water in a horizontal, linear system under diffuse flow conditions. The pressure is maintained during the displacement process. Animation of Oil Saturation for Case 1, Geometry: 10 x 1 x 10 The water can travel through a course gridded model more quickly than a fine gridded model. Consequently the water front becomes smeared causing a prematurely water break through in the coarse gridded model. This effect is called numerical dispersion. In practice there are other factors contributing to numerical dispersion such as the averaging of relative permeabilities and of saturations. The greater the number of gridblocks the more closely the model approaches continuum in space in which Buckley Leverett shock-front displacement is honored. Animation of Oil Saturation for Case 2, Geometry: 50 x 1 x 25 Case 3, the capillary pressure is included ,the geometry is 50 x 1 x 25. When capillary pressure is included in simulation, the fluid front has relatively round shape. Case 4, oil viscosity is 10 times higher , geometry: 50 x 1 x 25. With the increase of mobility ratio, M, the shock-front decreases. 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.0 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0.0 SW FW mo = 1.0 cp mo = 10.0 cp This graph shows that with the increase in viscosity, curve moves to the left . From the mobility ratio equation, the increase in oil viscosity brings an increases to the mobility ratio, M. mo=1.0 cp and M=2.0 mo=10.0 cp and M=20.0 This slide illustrates two runs of simulati
