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.
