Abstract This study aims to formulate a steady-state mathematical model for a three-dimensional permeable enclosure (cavity) to determine the oil extraction rate using three distinct nanoparticles, SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3, in unconventional oil reservoirs. The simulation is conducted for different parameters of volume fractions, porosities, and mass flow rates to determine the optimal oil recovery. The impact of nanoparticles on relative permeability ( and water is also investigated. The simulation process utilizes the finite volume ANSYS Fluent. The study results showed that when the mass flow rate at the inlet is low, oil recovery goes up. In addition, More >
