摘要
Understanding the detachment dynamics of droplets adhered to reservoir walls holds significant importance for the residual oil displacement process in high water-cut oilfields. Existing studies demonstrated that increasing mainstream shear by adjusting displacement flow and weakening wall adhesion by increasing contact angle can enhance droplet detachment. However, the complex physical and chemical oil–wall interactions, a crucial reservoir feature, cannot be solely relied on the macroscopic representation through contact angle. A deviation in understanding the process of crude oil droplet detachment would be resulted due to the change of wall adhesion. Considering the intricate physical and chemical interactions between oil and walls, in this paper, we employed the extended Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (EDLVO) theory to establish an oil–wall interaction forces system, and coupling computational fluid dynamics method to further explore the detachment dynamics of sessile oil droplets in a microchannel under varying EDLVO forces. The findings showed that (1) by increasing the Capillary number, the droplets gradually occur in four typical dynamic states: static, sliding, detachment, and pinch-off. (2) Static droplets are more prone to experience sliding behavior when influenced by EDLVO forces. (3) For droplets undergoing detachment and pinch-off, EDLVO forces inhibit entrainment behavior. These results contribute to an enhanced comprehension of droplet detachment dynamics in reservoirs, offering fresh insights for enhanced oil recovery strategies.
