Transport In Porous Media

The modeling and numerical simulation of mass transport in porous media is discussed in this work by using the so-called pore size distribution for computing transport properties. The pore-size distribution is a property of the pore structure of a porous medium. This can be used to estimate the different transport properties, amongst other, the permeability. By starting with a formula for the absolute permeability, the simulation of water and oil transport in reservoirs is considered by solving mass conservation equations with the help of the control volume method. The influence of the pore size distribution on the transport behavior is discussed to demonstrate the adequacy of the use of pore size distribution in studying the behavior of reservoirs.
