Influence of Hydrodynamic tilt-factor to Oil, Water & Gas production:

Whether the presence of tilted fluid-fluid (particularly dynamic-OWC and not even GOC) contacts would still ensure the associated ‘rate of strain’ to remain perpendicular to the direction of “resultant” fluid flow (moving with a specific fluid velocity)? In such reservoirs (Sarvak reservoir - Iran), can we comfortably decompose the motion of each fluid element into a pure translation, pure strain (along the principal axes) and a rotation (associated with vorticity)?
