3 Results and interpretation
Before conducting simulations in various M and Caconditions, we first ran single-phase simulations to determine the absolute permeability value of the porous media and to verify the stability of the simulation. The results are presented in Appendix A. The effects of M and Ca were then evaluated individually to see how they influence nonwetting and wetting relative permeability curves in a two-phase flow system. Next, we conducted simulations over a wide range of M and Ca values at aS nw value of 20% to create a relative permeability color diagram.
