Abstract
The pore-scale numerical modeling of CO2 injection into natural rock saturated with oil–water mixture was performed using the density functional hydrodynamics approach. The detailed 3D digital model of the sandstone core sample contained over 7 billion cells, which allowed us to perform analysis of oil displacement efficiency at different scales. Utilization of large-size detailed numerical models make it possible to characterize, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the processes at pore scale to the level of detail not achievable on smaller models. The obtained results indicate large-scale effects even on relatively heterogeneous core indicating possible need for multiscale hierarchical models even in heterogeneous cases. This fact imposes the demand for scalability performance on both the software and hardware used in such simulations, as well as the need for adequate modeling upscaling methods.

Transport in Porous Media publishes original research on physical and chemical aspects of transport phenomena in rigid and deformable porous media. These phenomena, occurring in single and multiphase flow in porous domains, can be governed by extensive quantities such as mass of a fluid phase, mass of component of a phase, momentum, or energy. Moreover, porous medium deformations can be induced by the transport phenomena, by chemical and electro-chemical activities such as swelling, or by external loading through forces and displacements. These porous media phenomena may be studied by researchers from various areas of physics, chemistry, biology, natural or materials science, and engineering (chemical, civil, agricultural, petroleum, environmental, electrical, and mechanical engineering).
