Role of Pore-Size Distribution on Effective Rheology of Two-Phase Flow in Porous Media

Immiscible two-phase flow of Newtonian fluids in porous media exhibits a power law relationship between flow rate and pressure drop when the pressure drop is such that the viscous forces compete with the capillary forces. When the pressure drop is large enough for the viscous forces to dominate, the...
