Coupled fluid flow and geomechanical deformation modeling
Accurate prediction of reservoir production in structurally weak geologic areas requires both mechanical deformation and fluid flow modeling. Loose staggered-in-time coupling of two independent flow and mechanics simulators captures much of the complex physics at a substantially reduced cost. Two 3-D finite element simulators—Integrated Parallel Accurate Reservoir Simulator (IPARS) for flow and...
متن کاملFluid-driven metamorphism of the continental crust governed by nanoscale fluid flow
The transport of fluids through the Earth's crust controls the redistribution of elements to form mineral and hydrocarbon deposits, the release and sequestration of greenhouse gases, and facilitates metamorphic reactions that influence lithospheric rheology. In permeable systems with a well-connected porosity, fluid transport is largely driven by fluid pressure gradients. In less permeable rock...
متن کاملLeaf Deformation Taking Into Account Fluid Flow
This paper proposes a method for animating leaf structural deformation considering the leaf water content and its change due to evaporation. To achieve this we embed a massspring system into a mesh representing the leaf, and couple the mass-spring parameters with a simulation representing the fluid flow and evaporation occurring in the leaf. This chain of events aims to simulate the natural pro...
متن کاملPrograde destruction and formation of monazite and allanite during contact and regional metamorphism of pelites: petrology and geochronology
The conditions at which monazite and allanite were produced and destroyed during prograde metamorphism of pelitic rocks were determined in a Buchan and a Barrovian regional terrain and in a contact aureole, all from northern New England, USA. Pelites from the chlorite zone of each area contain monazite that has an inclusion-free core surrounded by a highly irregular, inclusion-rich rim. Texture...
متن کاملThe Mechanics of Metamorphic Fluid Expulsion
Metamorphic devolatilization generates fluid and grain-scale porosity. Evidence for high fluid pressure indicates the devolatilization occurs under poorly-drained conditions. Under such conditions fluid expulsion is limited by the capacity of the reacted rocks to resist compaction or the rate at which deformation modifies the permeability of the overlying rocks. In the former case the compactio...
