In this study, we investigate the rheology of waxy crude oil in a porous media tube. We simplify the oil rheology, neglecting thixotropic effects, and we use Carbopol gels as prototype material since they display similar rheological behavior. The Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley (SHB) constitutive equation...
