Furthermore, this review summarizes and compares all existing foam models approaches including Mechanistic, Semi-Empirical and Empirical. Finally, it discusses foam models in different reservoir simulators in detail and presents different approaches for obtaining models{\^a}?? parameters in simulators. The comparison results showed that Emprical models are more suitable for simulation study due to less required paramters and faster calculation; however, these models might not be a appropriate in transient foam flow. Moreover, the challenges about he results of this review provide an valuble insight about foam behaiviour. {\^A}{\copyright} 2018 Elsevier B.V.}, issn = {18755100}, author = {Hematpur, H. and Mahmood, S.
