Abstract

Fractal expressions for flow rate, velocity and effective permeability of Rabinowitch fluid flow in porous media are derived based on the fractal properties of porous media and capillary model. Each parameter in the proposed expressions does not contain any empirical constant and has clear physical meaning and the proposed fractal models relate the flow properties of Rabinowitch fluid with the structural parameters of porous media. The presented analytical expressions help to understand the physical principles of Rabinowitch fluid through porous media.

Keywords:

Effective permeability, fractal, porous media,
