Radial Fingering in a Water-Wet Porous Medium Digitation radiale dans un milieu poreux mouillable à l'eau

Radial displacement of a non-wetting fluid (paraffin oil) by a wetting fluid (water) was studied in a consolidated porous medium for a wide range of flowrates. The effects of injection flowrate on the displacement pattern were observed photographically, and the volumetric oil recovery at the breakth...
