Heavy oil recovery is typically low, and a significant amount of unrecovered heavy oil is left in the reservoir. Heavy oil production requires enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes, which fundamentally cause continuous two- or three- phase flow (immiscible or miscible displacement) in porous media. The successful applications of such EOR techniques require more detailed knowledge of flow mechanisms in porous media.

重油采收率通常较低，并且大量未采收的重油留在储层中。稠油开采需要提高石油采收率（EOR）过程，其从根本上引起多孔介质中的连续两相或三相流动（不混溶或混溶驱替）。这种EOR技术的成功应用需要更详细的多孔介质中的流动机理的知识。
