Stability of Miscible Displacements Across Stratified Porous Media

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/761979· OSTI ID:761979

This report studied macro-scale heterogeneity effects. Reflecting on their importance, current simulation practices of flow and displacement in porous media were invariably based on heterogeneous permeability fields. Here, it was focused on a specific aspect of such problems, namely the stability of miscible displacements in stratified porous media, where the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of stratification.
