Abstract

A visualization system and method for a multiphase fluids displacement seepage experiment with large viscosity difference in a complex pore structure. The visualization system includes: an injection pump assembly, a visualized complex pore model, a vacuum pressure pump and an image acquisition device; the system and method are printed by a 3D printing device to form the visualized complex pore model with at least two permeability, and displacement fluid mediums of different viscosities are injected into the visualized complex pore model through different injection pumps during an experiment, so that not only is the penetration of the same viscosity in the complex pore structure with different permeability observed, but also the displacement and plugging effect of different viscosities successively entering the complex pore structure with different permeability is realized.
