Due to its application on a large number of fields and
activities which are vital for the modern world, being oil
prospection one of them, the flow of fluids on porous media
have been studied in many experimental works and theoretical
pieces. For instance, regarding the recovery of oil fields,
it is challenging to predict the behavior of fluids that
will be injected on the formation (gas, water or water
added with polymer), with the objective to increase the
pressure and optimize the oil recuperation. To approach
this matter adequately a deep knowledge of the porous media
and the behavior of the fluid in question are
required, in addition to the use of the experimental and/or
theorical models which provide simulations of this process
with reasonable fidelity. On this
experiment the path of the fluid through the empty spaces
of a porous medium is represented by a capillary with
contraction/expansion (throat). Starting with the
conveniently defined geometrical relations where only one
parameter varies, we generated eight different analysis
geometries. Numerical simulations of the Newtonian and
Pseudo-Plastic fluids were done using the CFD code developed
at PUC-Rio. Relationships were established between the flow
on capillaries with throat and equivalent capillaries, with
constant radius. Two methodologies are presented and
compared, determining equivalent analytical radius and
adjusted (Req an e Req aj). For the case of Newtonians
fluids, the approximation works very well on all
geometries, and the largest difference is 6.2%. Although
larger, the approximation still works in a satisfactory
manner when dealing with Power Law fluids.
