A numerical investigation of mathematical modelling in 3D hexagonal porous prism on oil recovery using nanoflooding

The use of nanomaterials as a means of recovering heavy and light oil from petroleum reservoirs has increased over the preceding twenty years. Most researchers have found that injecting a nanoparticle dispersion (nanofluids) has led to good results and increased the amount of oil that can be recover...
