Experimental study of velocity fields in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Classification of flow patterns in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Three-dimensional numerical modeling of flow field in rectangular shallow reservoirs

Flow field in shallow waters, which is characterized by its complex mixing process and inherent dynamic nature, is interesting mainly due to its practical importance (e. g. in free flushing operation and sedimentation in large reservoirs). 3D numerical models make it possible to track two-dimensional large turbulence coherent structures, which are the dominant phenomenon in shallow reservoirs f...

Comparisons of Experimental and Simulated Velocity Fields in Membrane Module Spacers

Spacers are used in spiral wound and plate and frame membrane modules to create flow channels between adjacent membrane layers and mix fluid within the flow channel. Flow through the spacer has a significant beneficial impact on mixing and resulting mass transfer rates but is accompanied by an undesirable increase in pressure drop. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a common tool used to eva...

Flow in Shallow Rectangular Basins: Experimental Study and 2d Numerical Simulations

The planning and design of a sustainable reservoir require the accurate prediction of flow and sediment deposition patterns. Numerical simulation of flow in reservoirs is important in order to determine the detailed flow pattern. This typically includes flow separation at the inlet, accompanied by recirculation and stagnation regions. The aim of the present paper is to study the influence of th...

An Experimental Study of CO2-low Salinity Water Alternating Gas Injection in Sandstone Heavy Oil Reservoirs

Several studies have shown that oil recovery significantly increased by low salinity water flooding (LSWF) in sandstones. However, mechanism of oil recovery improvement is still controversial. CO2 that develops buffer in presence of water is expected as a deterrent factor in LSWF efficiency based on mechanism of IFT reduction due to pH uprising. No bright evidence in literature suppo...
