| Summary: | This paper aims to elaborate foam concepts and foam flow modeling approaches in porous media. Furthermore, this review summarizes and compares all existing foam models approaches including Mechanistic, Semi-Empirical and Empirical. Finally, it discusses foam models in different reservoir simulators in detail and presents different approaches for obtaining models� parameters in simulators. The comparison results showed that Emprical models are more suitable for simulation study due to less required paramters and faster calculation; however, these models might not be a appropriate in transient foam flow. Moreover, the challenges about he results of this review provide an valuble insight about foam behaiviour. © 2018 Elsevier B.V. |
