Adaptive mesh refinement in locally conservative level set methods for multiphase fluid displacements in porous media

چکیده

Abstract Multiphase flow in porous media often occurs with the formation and coalescence of fluid ganglia. Accurate predictions such mechanisms complex pore geometries require simulation models local mass conservation option to improve resolution areas interest. In this work, we incorporate patch-based, structured adaptive mesh refinement capabilities into a method for volume that describes behaviour disconnected ganglia during level set simulations capillary-controlled displacement media. We validate model against analytical solutions three-phase configurations idealized pores containing gas, oil, water, by modelling intermediate-wet oil layers as separate domains their volumes preserved. Both pressures converge values increased levels mesh. Favourable results from strong weak scaling tests emphasize number patches per processor total are important parameters efficient parallel refinement. Simulations two-phase imbibition gas invasion on segmented 3D images water-wet sandstone show has highest impact displacements, especially concerning conserved, phase.

Stabilizing fluid–fluid displacements in porous media through wettability alteration

We study experimentally how wettability impacts fluid–fluid displacement patterns in granular media. We inject a low-viscosity fluid (air) into a thin bed of glass beads initially saturated with a more-viscous fluid (a water/glycerol mixture). Chemical treatment of glass surfaces allows us to control the wetting properties of the medium and modify the contact angle θ from 5 deg (drainage) to 12...

Dissipative Particle Dynamics and Other Particle Methods for Multiphase Fluid Flow in Fractured and Porous Media

Particle methods are much less computationally efficient than grid based numerical solution of the Navier Stokes equation, and they have been used much less extensively, particularly for engineering applications. However, they have important advantages for some applications. These advantages include rigorous mass conservation, momentum conservation and isotropy. In addition, there is no need fo...

An Adaptive Mesh Refinement Algorithm for Compressible Two-Phase Flow In Porous Media

We describe a second-order accurate sequential algorithm for solving two-phase multicomponent flow in porous media. The algorithm incorporates an unsplit second-order Godunov scheme that provides accurate resolution of sharp fronts. The method is implemented within a block structured mesh refinement framework that allows grids to dynamically adapt to features of the flow and enables efficient p...
