Computational fluid dynamics for ameliorating oil recovery using silicon-based nanofluids and ethanol in oil-wet reservoirs

Computational fluid dynamics for ameliorating oil recovery using silicon-based nanofluids and ethanol in oil-wet reservoirs

Impulsive emulsion formation, porous media wettability alteration, and interfacial tension (IFT) reduction are a list of advantages gained from the application of nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). However, low displacement efficiency (DE) coupled with in-effective mixing of the injected...
