Multiphase CFD modeling of front propagation: Forced-Imbibition

The reposity contains an OpenFOAM implementation to study a 3D liquid-gas front propagation in a modulated Hele-Shaw cell. We modulated the Hele-Shaw cell by placing a squared box at the center of bottom wall, which partially fills the gap. We study the morphological differences between imbibition (left figure) and drainage (right figure) for a wide range of capillary numbers by changing the incoming fluid while keeping the same gas in the chamber.

OpenFOAM implementation

The OpenFOAM implementation uses interFoam. We change the fluids properties in the file alpha.water.orig and run the case by sh sh run_case.sh Depending on the viscosity ration between the liquid-gas used, the simulation could results in a significant amount of time. The contact angle between the liquid and the walls is also studied. The results are presented in the following article.

The following video shows a simulation using oil-air pair.
