Lattice Boltzmann simulation of counter-current imbibition of oil and water in porous media at the equivalent capillarity

The characterization of oil and water displacement in porous media often relies on the capillary number (Ca = μv/σ cos θ). However, limited investigations have been conducted to explore the relative significance of interfacial tension and wettability in determining oil recovery, particularly under t...
