Abstract: We address the two-scale homogenization of the Navier–Stokes and Cahn–Hilliard equations in the case of a weak miscibility of a two-component fuid. To this end a notion of the miscibility strength is formulated on the basis of a correlation between the upscaling parameter and the surface tension. As a result, a two-scale model is derived. Macro-equations turn out to be a generalization of the Darcy law enjoying cross-coupling permeability tensors. It implies that the Darcy velocity of each phase depends on pressure gradients of both phases. Micro-equations serve for determination both of the permeability tensors and the capillary pressure. An example is constructed by analytical tools to describe capillary displacement of oil by mixture of water with carbon dioxide in a system of hydrophobic parallel channels.
