Abstract

Please review the attached PDF file which contains the author proof of your article. This is your only opportunity to review the editing, typesetting, figure placement, and correctness of text, tables, and figures. Answer copyeditor's queries in the margin. Failure to answer queries will result in the delay of publication of your article, so please make sure they are all adequately addressed. You will not be charged for any corrections to editorial or typesetting errors; however, you will be billed at the rate of $25 per hour of production time for rewriting, rewording, or otherwise revising the article from the version accepted for publication ("author's alterations"); any such charges will be invoiced and must be paid before the article is published. Please return your corrections clearly marked on the page proofs and email the corrected file or indicate your corrections in a list, specifying the location of the respective revisions as precisely as possible. If you wish to order offprints (see form below) please fill out and return the form with your corrections. Please read the instructions carefully and email your corrections to journals@begellhouse.com, if possible within 48 hours, not including weekends or holidays. If you need more time, please let us know at your earliest convenience. No article will be published without confirmation of the author's review. If we do not hear from you within the allotted time, we will be happy to hold your article for a future issue, to give you more time to make your corrections.

Modelación matemática del transporte de fluidos bifásicos a través de medios fracturados: sistema de placas paralelas irregulares

“…Existen, por ejemplo, diversas correlaciones para la formación de dedos viscosos de flujo de agua en crudo ( Jamaloei et al, 2016), pero los modelos requieren demasiados parámetros que deben cuantificarse. Es más común un análisis numérico (Salehi-Shabestari et al, 2017) aplicable a crudos parafínicos y viscoplásticos que se mueven de manera inmiscible con agua. La situación se torna aún más compleja cuando se genera un flujo bifásico en el sistema como suele ocurrir cuando se inyecta agua en los yacimientos de crudos viscosos con el objetivo de aumentar la eficiencia de la explotación a través del arrastre del crudo atrapado entre las paredes de las fracturas.…”
