Effective Rheology of Two-Phase Flow in a Capillary Fiber Bundle Model

Effective Rheology of Two-Phase Flow in a Capillary Fiber Bundle Model

We investigate the effective rheology of two-phase flow in a bundle of parallel capillary tubes carrying two immiscible fluids under an external pressure drop. The diameter of the tubes vary along the length which introduce capillary threshold pressures. We demonstrate through analytical calculation...
