Keywords: two-phase flow, filtration, laboratory simulation, flooding, Saffman-Taylor instability

Annotation:

Experimental data on the changes in the distribution of displacing fluid saturation in the pore space of porous plane-parallel array filled with displaced fluid with greater viscosity are obtained. The mathematical model of instability of two-phase flow of displacement fluid in the form of fingers (fingers) is studied. The results of modeling are compared with experimental results.
