Due to the foam pseudo-plastic behavior, the foam apparent viscosity was estimated based on the power law constitutive model. The results show that foam exhibit shear-thinning behavior. The presence of surface-modified silica nanoparticles enhanced the foam bulk apparent viscosity by 15. Foam apparent viscosity in the capillary porous media was four times higher than that in capillary viscometer, and foam apparent viscosity increased as porous media permeability increases. The high apparent viscosity of the surface-modified nanoparticles-stabilized foam could result in effective fluid diversion and pore blocking processes and enhance their potential applications in heterogeneous reservoir. © 2018, © 2018 Taylor & Francis. date: 2018 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85053025528&doi=10.1080%2f01932691.2018.1462201&partnerID=40&md5=ef6b0cfbd631f89bf7699d863ece500f id_number: 10.1080/01932691.2018.1462201 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology volume: 39 number: 12 pagerange: 1767-1779 refereed: TRUE issn: 01932691 citation: Rahim Risal, A. and Manan, M.A. and Yekeen, N. and Mohamed Samin, A. and Azli, N.B.
