Modified capillary number

Input(s)

μw\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\mathrm{w}}: Viscosity of water (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

μo\boldsymbol{\mu}_{\mathbf{o}}: Viscosity of oil (cP)

σ\sigma: Interfacial tension (( dyn /cm)/ \mathrm{cm})

v: Characteristic velocity (ft/D)

Output(s)

Mc: Modified Capillary Number (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

Mc=(μwvσ)(μwμo)0.4M c=\left(\mu_{w} * \frac{v}{\sigma}\right) *\left(\frac{\mu_{w}}{\mu_{o}}\right)^{0.4}
