Two-Phase Flow Simulation of Water and Oil Ganglia

Caption

Simulations performed on Titan enable detailed tracking of two fluid phase systems during flow through porous media. In this case, the behavior of oil ganglia (yellow) can be observed as they are mobilized in an experimentally-imaged sandstone (the solid part of the sandstone is shown in blue).
