It is crucial to understand how one fluid is displaced by another at different temperature through a capillary, as many industrial and reservoir enhanced recovery methods fall into this category. Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method has been successfully applied to model mesoscale behaviors of many processes. In this paper, DPD method with energy conservation has been applied to model non-isothermal fluid displacement in capillary tube. Validation of the in-house computer code written in C# is carried out by modeling isothermal no-slip fluid flow. Simulation of non-isothermal fluid displacement using energy conserving DPD gives insight about the parameters affecting the flow.

AbstractA numerical procedure for calculating the evolution of a periodic interface between two immiscible fluids flowing in a two-dimensional porous medium or Hele-Shaw cell is described. The motion of the interface is determined in a stepwise manner with its new velocity at exach time step being derived as a numerical solution of a boundary integral equation. Attention is focused on the case of unstable displacement charaterised physically by the “fingering” of the interface and computationally by the growth of numerical errors regardless of the numerical method employed. Here the growth of such error is reduced and the usable part of the calculation extended to finite amplitudes. Numerical results are compared with an exact “finger” solution and the calculated behaviour of an initial sinusoidal displacement, as a function of interfacial tension, initial amplitude and wavelength, is discussed.
