Multi-scale modelling of two-phase-two-component processes in heterogeneous porous media
Flow and transport phenomena in porous media are the governing processes in many natural and industrial systems. Not only do these flow and transport phenomena occur on different space and time scales, but it is also the porous medium itself which is heterogeneous where the heterogeneities are present on all spatial scales. We consider a large domain with randomly distributed heterogeneities wh...
متن کاملAnalytical and numerical investigations of spontaneous imbibition in porous media
We present semianalytical solutions for cocurrent displacements with some degree of countercurrent flow. The solution assumes a one-dimensional horizontal displacement of two immiscible incompressible fluids with arbitrary viscosities and saturation-dependent relative permeability and capillary pressures. We address the impact of the system length on the degree of countercurrent flow when there...
متن کاملMultilevel Upscaling in Heterogeneous Porous Media
The multiscale structure of heterogeneous porous media prevents a straightforward numerical treatment of the underlying mathematical ow models. In particular, fully resolved ow simulations are intractable and yet the ne-scale structure of a porous medium may signiicantly innuence the coarse-scale properties of the solution (e.g., average ow rates). Consequently, homogenization or upscaling proc...
متن کاملTransient Fluid Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
A stable Alternating Direction Implicit finite-difference algorithm is used to model transient fiuid flow in heterogeneous porous media. In connection with the laboratory system for pressure transient testing of core permeability, the effects of permeability heterogeneities on the characteristics of the pressure transient were investigated. The results show that the early portion of the pressur...
متن کاملSolute Transport in Heterogeneous Porous Media
Solute mass transport in porous media is strongly correlated with pore fluid flow. The analysis of solute transport is an effective means for studying medium heterogeneities. In this study, we discuss the effects of heterogeneity on the tracer transport. Assuming steady fluid flow, we have simulated tracer transport in various permeability heterogeneities. The results show that the tracer distr...
