Local saturation of the invading fluid in the tube network model (with and ) for different and conditions. (a) Nine sets of and values used to calculate the saturation of the invading fluid, superimposed on phase boundaries suggested by other researchers. Each symbol represents and conditions used for the local saturation plot in (b). (b) Local saturation of the invading fluid with respect to the distance from an input boundary.
