Description
Summary:In this paper, the counter - current imbibition phenomenon is discussed in an inclined heterogeneous porous media with the consideration of two types of porous materials like volcanic sand and fine sand. Adomian decomposition method is applied to find the saturation of wetting phase and the recovery rate of the reservoir. Finally, a simulation result is developed to study the saturation of wetting phase and the optimum recovery rate of reservoir with the choices of some interesting parametric values. This problem has a great importance in the field of oil recovery process.
