The motion and shape of a liquid drop through another continuous liquid phase (conveying phase) in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell with two different apertures were investigated experimentally. Two different liquid/liquid systems were tested. In all cases, the continuous phase was more viscous and wetted the bounding walls. In the capillarity-dominated region, the irregular shape of the discontinuous phase changed with time and distance, with much lower velocity than that of the conveying phase. In contrast to gas/liquid systems, the velocity of these stabilized, elongated drops was 2.5 to almost 5 times higher than that of conveying liquid. Despite the similarities between flow in vertical and horizontal Hele-Shaw cells, the velocity of droplets in a vertical fracture is different from that of a horizontal fracture. A new correlation is derived from dimensionless analysis and the experimental data to predict the elongated drop velocity as a function of the dimensionless parameters governing the system. 12 Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology 48 ARTICULO Shad, S. 42489 Salarieh, M. 43115 Maini, B.B. 12170 171293 171293 0 0 0 0 239112 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200046152 0 200046152 2026-03-05 15:13:41 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
