This paper explores the complex phenomena of viscous fluid flow through layered porous medium. In nature, there are several instances where viscous flows occur through high permeable channels, e.g., oil recovery, CO \(_2\) sequestration, and water soil infiltration. In the current work, Dye-attenuation technique is used to investigate the flow behavior of viscous fluid injected into a fully saturated layered porous medium. The research focuses on understanding the flow patterns developed through image visualization and post-processing in MATLAB. Experimental investigations are conducted in a two-layered porous medium using a glycerin-salt-water mixture as the viscous fluid and a salt-water mixture as the ambient fluid. The study examines flow profiles, front, height patterns, self-similarity of front propagation ( \(x_f\) ) with respect to time (t), and the best fit on the data represented by a power law. We have also calculated the frictional losses in the pipe network at the inlet. In the future, we could validate this experimental study with numerical or analytical models and perform further experiments for multiple layers of porous medium.
