多孔介质中的多相流动关系到储层岩石中烃类提取、水体污染、CO2地质封存等工程过程的数量。孔隙尺度建模作为一种替代实验室测量的方法，首先是将孔隙尺度特性（孔隙几何和润湿性）和位移机制与多孔介质中连续尺度多相流联系起来的有效桥梁；其次，我们可以确定基本的流动函数，如毛细管压力和相对渗透率曲线，这些都是连续尺度建模所需要的。在文献中，毛细管束模型（BCTM）、直接孔隙尺度模型（DPSM）和孔隙网络模型（PNM）三种方法在多孔介质中流体-流体和流体-固体相互作用的孔隙尺度力学数值模拟研究中被广泛采用。在这篇综述文章中，提供了一个全面的回顾，以显示他们的优势和劣势，并强调多相流建模所面临的挑战，主要挑战包括：接触角表征，验证和高档孔隙尺度的发现到岩心，甚至是现场尺度。
Multiphase flow in porous media is relevant to amount of engineering processes, such as hydrocarbon extraction from reservoir rock, water contamination, CO2 geological storage and sequestration. Pore scale modeling, as an alternative approach to lab measurement, firstly serves as an effective bridge to link the pore scale properties (pore geometry and wettability) and displacement mechanisms to continuous scale multiphase flow in porous media; and secondly allows us to determine essential flow functions, such as capillary pressure and relative permeability curves, which are required for continuous scale modeling. In the literature, three methodologies, Bundle of Capillary Tube Modeling (BCTM), Direct Pore Scale Modeling (DPSM) and Pore Network Modeling (PNM), have appeared to be mostly widely adopted in the investigation of the pore-scale mechanics of fluid-fluid and fluid-solid interactions in porous media by numerical simulation. In this review article, a comprehensive review is provided to show their strengths and weaknesses and to highlight challenges that are faced in modelling of multiphase flow, key challenges include: are contact angle characterization, validation and upscale pore scale findings to core, or even field scale.
