Abstract
The work, presented in this paper, is a numerical study that deals with the phenomenon of
viscous fingering in a five-point geometry that is considered a good model of oil fields. In
order to investigate the effect of the presence of the fractures and their distribution in the
porous medium, three different cases are considered in this study. We considered a porous
medium fully saturated with oil. Water is injected through an injection well to push this oil to
a production well. The interface of the two fluids is visualized as a function of time. The flow
equations are solved using the finite volume method (FVM).
