Numerical simulation of two-phase flow in discrete fractures using Rayleigh-Ritz finite element method

Spontaneous imbibition plays a very important role in the displacement mechanism of non-wetting fluid in naturally fractured reservoirs. We developed a new 2D two-phase finite element numerical model, as available commercial simulators cannot be used to model small-scale experiments with different b...
