A hybrid analytical/numerical model for the characterization of preferential flow path with non-Darcy flow.

Due to the long-term fluid-solid interactions in waterflooding, the tremendous variation of oil reservoir formation parameters will lead to the widespread evolution of preferential flow paths, thereby preventing the further enhancement of recovery efficiency because of unstable fingering and prematu...
