چکیده

Abstract For fracture propagation, a novel DEM-based pore-scale thermal-hydro-mechanical model of two-phase fluid flow with heat transfer in non-saturated porous materials low porosity was developed. Numerical computations were performed for bonded granular specimens, using DEM fully coupled CFD (based on network) and transfer, which integrated discrete mechanics at the meso-scale. Both (diffusion advection) particles (conduction) involved transfer. The numerical findings thermal-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) first compared to analytical solution classic 1D transport problem. outcomes perfect agreement. Advection's impacts cooling particle assembly next numerically demonstrated high Peclet numbers. Finally, THM model's utility proved thermal contraction test employing during cooling, resulted creation macro-crack. effects macro-crack distribution pressure, density, velocity, temperature studied.

A Pore-scale Hydro-mechanical Coupled Model for Geomaterials

We present a model for fluid-saturated granular media coupled flow and mechanical deformation. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and the solid part is assumed to be a cohesive granular material. Forces exerted by the fluid in motion are determinated and applied to solid particles. We derive a finite volumes formulation of the flow problem and we couple it to a discrete element method (D...

Bonding Strength Effects in Hydro-Mechanical Coupling Transport in Granular Porous Media by Pore-Scale Modeling

The hydro-mechanical coupling transport process of sand production is numerically investigated with special attention paid to the bonding effect between sand grains. By coupling the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the discrete element method (DEM), we are able to capture particles movements and fluid flows simultaneously. In order to account for the bonding effects on sand production, a cont...

Pore scale simulation of solute transport in fractured porous media

[1] We investigate the effects of the porosity (and thus permeability) of porous matrix and the fracture aperture on transport in fractured porous media. We do so with detailed lattice Boltzmann simulations on constructed porous media with a single fracture. Both plume spatial moments (the average plume velocity and the dispersion coefficients) and mass transfer coefficients between the facture...

Coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical model for porous materials under frost action: theory and implementation

This paper introduces the development and implementation of a multiphysical model to simulate the coupled hydro-thermo-mechanical processes in freezing unsaturated porous materials. The model couples the Fourier’s law for heat transfer, the generalized Richards’ equation for fluid transfer in unsaturated media, and the mechanical constitutive relationship. Coupling parameters were defined to tr...

A NOVEL HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION METHOD: KOUROSH´S METHOD FOR A THERMAL BOUNDARY LAYER IN A SATURATED POROUS MEDIUM

this paper a novel homotopy perturbation method has been presented for forced convection boundary layer problems in a porous medium. Noting the infinite condition, a homotopy form which is similar to the singular perturbation form has been considered. The inner and outer solutions have been achieved and the coincidence of the results has been investigated with a proper matching method. The resu...
