Application of CFD technique to simulate enhanced oil recovery processes: current status and future opportunities

Abstract Nowadays, because of the reduction in oil resources and the passage of the first and second life period of current reservoirs, using enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods is of great importance. In recent years, due to the developments in technology and the advent of powerful computers, using...
