An Examination of the Multiphase Darcy Model of Fluid Displacement in Porous Media Examen du modèle polyphasique de Darcy de déplacement de fluides en milieu poreux

The multiphase Darcy model used to represent two-phase immiscible displacement flow within porous media is critically examined, and the principle assumptions and limitations discussed. We identify some of the main problems which require better understanding in order that conceptual progress in the p...
