The stabilization of fingers in a specific oil–water displacement process with capillary pressure has been statistically discussed for a given heterogeneous porous medium. The equation of motion has been solved by a perturbation method. It is shown that the perturbation solution does produce "stable" fingers in one special case corresponding to the investigated problem.

The nonlinear behavior of instabilities (fingers) in a specific oil–water displacement process, which includes the effects of capillary pressure in a heterogeneous porous medium, has been analysed from a statistical viewpoint. It is shown that, based on theories available for capillary pressure, the statistical model does not lead to any stabilization of the fingers.

In this paper, one special case of oil–water imbibition phenomena in a cracked porous medium of a finite length is analytically discussed. The equation for the linear countercurrent imbibition is a nonlinear differential equation whose solution has been obtained by a perturbation technique. For definiteness, specific results have been used for the relationship between relative permeability and phase saturation) impregnation function, oil–water viscosity ratio, and capillary pressure dependence on phase saturation due to Jones, Bokserman et al., Evgen'ev, and Oroveanu, respectively. An expression for the wetting phase saturation has been derived.

The Darcy law is used extensively to describe the flow of fluids through porous media. According to this law the fluid flow is linearly dependent upon the pressure gradient and the gravitational force. The proportionality factor is generally known as the permeability of the porous medium. The Darcy law cannot be derived from the Navier-Stokes equation since this equation includes terms which characterize the fluid only. With the help of nonreversible thermodynamics it is possible to develop a general equation of motion of a fluid through a porous body, and obtain the Darcy law as a special case of such an equation.

A generalized hyperbolic perturbation method for heteroclinic solutions is presented for strongly nonlinear self-excited oscillators in the more general form of [Formula: see text]. The advantage of this work is that heteroclinic solutions for more complicated and strong nonlinearities can be analytically derived, and the previous hyperbolic perturbation solutions for Duffing type oscillator can be just regarded as a special case of the present method. The applications to cases with quadratic-cubic nonlinearities and with quintic-septic nonlinearities are presented. Comparisons with other methods are performed to assess the effectiveness of the present method.

Timoshenko beams have been widely used in structural and mechanical systems. Under dynamic loading, the analytical solution of a Timoshenko beam is often difficult to obtain due to the complexity involved in the equation of motion. In this paper, a modal perturbation method is introduced to approximately determine the dynamic characteristics of a Timoshenko beam. In this approach, the differential equation of motion describing the dynamic behavior of the Timoshenko beam can be transformed into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. Therefore, the solution process can be simplified significantly for the Timoshenko beam with arbitrary boundaries. Several examples are given to illustrate the application of the proposed method. Numerical results have shown that the modal perturbation method is effective in determining the modal characteristics of Timoshenko beams with high accuracy. The effects of shear distortion and moment of inertia on the natural frequencies of Timoshenko beams are discussed in detail.
