The document outlines the chapters of a thesis on two-phase flow experiments in porous media. Chapter 1 introduces key concepts like porosity, permeability, and relative permeability diagrams. Chapter 2 discusses petroleum formation, traps, reservoir drive mechanisms, and recovery methods. Chapter 3 covers laboratory measurements of grain size, densities, porosity, and permeability. Chapter 4 details constructing and running a relative permeability test. Chapter 5 proposes simulating the experiment using Comsol Multiphysics to compare results.
