Abstract
IT is often convenient to employ laboratory models for the study of fluid behaviour in oil reservoirs. Typical experiments may concern the flow of two liquids miscible with one another. Basically, this calls for measurements of concentration as a function of time and position. If the liquids can be distinguished by some parameter, a corresponding method of observation may suggest itself. Thus, Beran1 employed radioactively tagged liquids in his models, while Rifai2, de Josselin de Jong3 and others measured the electrical conductivity of salt solutions flowing through packed beds.
