Abstract

Immiscible displacement at pore level on a three-dimensional correlated porous network is simulated allowing flow of the wetting phase along crevices of the pore walls (possibility of snap-off in throats) and advance through the centers of the pore space with different pore and throat filling conditions, leading to a cooperative filling. When these two mechanisms compete, different patterns arise. We study the effect of the correlation strength on the onset of each pattern. We do not take buoyancy forces into account.
