Movement of the Bucklet Leverett Front in Immiscible Flows — Lesson 5

This lesson covers the concept of flow through porous media, focusing on the Buckley Leverett front and its movement. It delves into the relative permeability and two-phase flow, extending the discussion to the Buckley Leverett formulation. The lesson explains the concept of immiscible flow, the integration of expressions, and the significance of saturation at the outlet. The lesson further explains the concept of displacement of saturation and the movement of the Buckley Leverett front. It also provides a detailed explanation of how to calculate the cumulative water injected till a certain point and how to estimate the amount of oil pushed out of the system.
