Effect of viscoelasticity on displacement processes in porous media
Improving the displacement efficiency of capillary entrapments in porous media by adding high molecular weight polymers to the invading phase has various industrial applications, from enhanced oil recovery to soil remediation. Apart from an increased viscosity contrast compared to regular water floo...
