conditions were considered.

For each condition, three proportion of layers were studied; 1- 25%

of the high permeable layer, 2- 50% of the The relative permeability of immiscible multi-phase

flow in Layered 2D porous permeable porous media, a low permeable porous media, and layered

dual permeable porous media. For the later case, parallel and serie high permeable layer, and 3-

75% of high permeable layer. For each condition, The viscous coupling effects due to viscosity

ratio, the capillary number and the media is investigated employing the diffuse interface Lattice

Boltzmann model. The interfacial tension is set to small value to mimic the near miscible

condition of the fluids. The model is validated with static and dynamic analytical solutions.

Three classes of porous media are examined: A high effect of the fluid patterns on the relative

permeability curves were investigated. The simulation results showed very small errors compare

with the analytical permeability solutions of layered porous media. The findings showed that

despite the dual permeable serie system, the relative permeability curve of dual permeable

parallel geometry is closely matched with the analytical solution.
