Macroscopic Equations Derived from Space Averaging for Immiscible Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media Équations macroscopiques d'un écoulement de deux phases immiscibles en milieu poreux déduites par prise de moyenne spatiale

Models of instabilities in porous media usually assume that the capillary pressure (the difference of pressure between the nonwetting and the wetting phase) depends on the radii of the macroscopic curvature of the two-phase front. However, this definition is not taken into account for modeling stabl...
