Simulation of Electrical-Conduction and Filtration Processes in Porous Media with Two-Phase Saturation

摘要

Results of simulating electrical-conduction and filtration processes in porous media with two-phase saturation have been presented. A three-dimensional cubic lattice of capillaries has been used as a model porous medium. The sizes and amount of capillaries in the model are selected according to a preset pore-size distribution. The results obtained enable one to establish the general regularities of the influence of the pore structure on transfer processes at two-phase saturation, analyze the dependence of the electrical-conduction and filtration processes on the features of porous-medium saturation, and illustrate the potential of the capillary-lattice model for describing the properties of porous media with two-phase saturation.
