Abstract
With lattice Boltzmann method, thermal miscible displacement process in porous media was investigated numerically in pore scale. Influence of thermal viscous diffusion coefficient (βT) and Lewis number (Le) on interface shape and sweep efficiency are quantitatively analyzed. It shows that with the increase of βT, the instability of interface increases and the sweep efficiency decreases. As βT>0, with increase of Le, interface instability decreases; Interface between displacement fluid and displaced fluid tends to be flat; Fingertip residual rate decreases and sweep efficiency increases. As βT<0, effects of Le on sweep efficiency are opposite.
