The transport dynamics of droplets in pore throats are crucial for oil recovery high water-cut fields and primarily governed by interfacial properties droplets. In nanoparticle flooding, surfactants adsorb onto the droplet interface, forming a “solid-like” interface that predominantly exhibits elastic properties. Owing to demonstrated effect on deformation, new behaviors encapsulated an would exist when transported through throats. this paper, model was developed fluid–structure coupling...
In oil reservoirs with high water-cut, residual droplets are dominant and noticeable rear concave deformed when mobilizing in capillaries. The “solid-like” interface was exhibited by nanoparticle surfactants (NPSs) adsorbed nanoparticles flooding. Related specific interfaces (i.e., phospholipid bilayer interface) have demonstrated their influences on droplet dynamics, e.g., elastic modulus related breathing, Marangoni stress induced deformation. However, the constitutive mechanical...
