Torquato, Mariana Luisa de Lima; Carvalho, Márcio da Silveira (Advisor). Emulsion flow through constricted capillary using Lattice-Boltzmann method. Rio de Janeiro, 2015. 133p. Msc. Dissertation -Departamento de Engenharia Mecânica, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro.Emulsion injection in porous medium as an Enhanced Oil Recovery method can turn out to be reality in the operation of onshore and offshore fields, due to increasing rigidity in the disposal of produced water and also due to the potential additional oil production. In order to understand macroscopic behavior of this EOR method, it is necessary to understand the microscopic phenomenon. With this objective, it was performed the numerical modeling of the flow of a droplet immerse in continuous phase through a constricted capillary using the LatticeBoltzmann method. This method was chosen due to its simplicity on being applied to complex rock geometries and multiphasic flow and due to its good commitment in representing microscopic phenomena. Focusing on understanding the influence of each parameter on flow behavior, several simulation studies were performed altering flow velocity, viscosity ratio, ratio between droplet´s and pipe´s diameter and interfacial tension. A reduction in mobility is observed as the droplet passes through the restriction caused by the conjunction of viscous and capillary effects. A negative correlation of mobility reduction factor in relation to the viscosity ratio and to droplet size was noticed, as it had been observed before by Roca-Reyes (2011) in a numerical implementation of level-set method.
