capillary rise porous paper three phase (air water oil)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I want to simulate a transient three-phase flow in porous media considering capillary action (Filter paper soaking water up). The porous zone is initially filled with air. I want to model the displacement of air with two liquids (water and glycerin, let's say) due to capillary forces. My main interest is the degree of wetting and the spreading of the wetting front. How to model capillary effects in the porous zone?
