3D pore-scale digital twin for assessing thermal effects on two-phase flow and relative permeability in Bentheimer sandstone

Key Points

• Thermal effects significantly influence relative permeability in two-phase flow scenarios.
• A 3D digital twin model was utilized to simulate fluid behaviors under varying thermal conditions.
• Analysis focused on bentheimer sandstone as a representative porous material for geological studies.
• Impacts on relative permeability could inform better resource extraction strategies in similar formations.
