A Discrete Model Of Oil Recovery [PDF]

7th International Congress of the Brazilian Geophysical Society, 2001
We propose the simulation of a oil recovery by means of a molecular type approach. By using a finite set of particles under the interaction of a Lennard-Jones type potential we simulate the behavior of a fluid in a porous media, and we show under certain conditions the fingering phenomena appears.
