摘要：
A mathematical model of the time-dependent two-dimensional flow of a two-phase multicomponent incompressible fluid through a porous medium is proposed for the micellar-polymeric flooding of oil reservoirs. The oil displacement process is investigated numerically using an implicit first-order-accurate upwind scheme with integration over the nonlinearity on a uniform grid under the assumption of plane-radial motion in the neighborhood of the wells. The influence of the nonuniform permeability of the porous medium on the efficiency of the proposed method of improving oil recovery is analyzed using a five-point slug injection scheme. © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2004.
