A Model for Single-phase Flow in Layered Porous Media
Homogenization techniques are used to derive a double porosity model for single phase flow in a reservoir with a preferred direction of fracture. The equations in the microscopic model are the usual ones derived from Darcy’s law in the fractures and matrix (rock). The permeability coefficients over the matrix domain are scaled, using a parameter ε, based on the fracture direction in the reservo...
متن کاملInfluence of contact angle on slow evaporation in two-dimensional porous media.
We study numerically the influence of contact angle on slow evaporation in two-dimensional model porous media. For sufficiently low contact angles, the drying pattern is fractal and can be predicted by a simple model combining the invasion percolation model with the computation of the diffusive transport in the gas phase. The overall drying time is minimum in this regime and is independent of c...
متن کاملEecient and Robust Numerical Modeling of Variably Saturated Ow in Layered Porous Media
We extend our recent work on higher-order time integration of Richards' equation to layered heterogeneous porous media, using a diierential-algebraic-equation-based method of lines (DAE/MOL) approach. We show that the DAE/MOL approach is robust and eecient compared to standard low-order time integration methods for heterogeneous media. We also show the advantage of using an integral representat...
متن کاملDo effective properties for unsaturated weakly layered porous media exist? An experimental study
In a multi-step outflow experiment we found that a weak heterogeneity within a sand column prevents the estimated effective hydraulic parameters from being unique. We compared vertical water content profiles calculated from these parameters with profiles measured by x-ray attenuation. A layered material model based on x-ray data was able to reproduce the outflow curve and also the water content...
متن کاملWater Behavior in Layered Porous Media with Discrete Flow Channels: Results of a Large-Scale Experiment
458 Small-scale physical models have been used for almost two centuries to investigate a wide range of large-scale subsurface processes (Hall, 1815; Daubrée, 1879; Cadell, 1888). In most cases, the experiments were not analyzed quantitatively, and the purported similarities between the model system and the fullscale system of interest are based on qualitative and/or visual characteristics alone...
