Abstract

It is of interest to study nonequilibrium effects associated with the motion of nonuniform fluids in a porous medium because they may have a considerable significance both for an understanding of the physics of flow in porous medium as well as for applications, primarily in the exploitation of oil and gas deposits. The aim of the present paper is to make a theoretical analysis of some aspects of the nonequilibrium state associated with the length of the process of establishment of capillary equilibrium, and also to consider possible consequences of these aspects.
