摘要：

The effect of pore-structure upon two-phase relative permeability and capillary pressure of strongly-wetting systems at low capillary number is simulated. A pore-level model consisting of a network of pore-bodies interconnected by pore-throats is used to calculate scanning loops of hysteresis between primary drainage, imbibition and secondary drainage. The pore-body to pore-throat aspect ratio strongly influences the pattern of hysteresis. Changes in the patterns of hysteresis often attributed to consolidation can be understood in terms of changes in aspect ratio. Correlation between the sizes of neighboring pore-throats affects the shape of the relative permeability curves, while the width and shape of the pore-size distribution have only a minor influence. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
