A risk assessment tool for contaminated sites in low-permeability fractured media.
A risk assessment tool for contaminated sites in low-permeability fractured media is developed, based on simple transient and steady-state analytical solutions. The discrete fracture (DF) tool, which explicitly accounts for the transport along fractures, covers different source geometries and history (including secondary sources) and can be applied to a wide range of compounds. The tool success...
متن کاملPermeability of Fractured Media under Confining Pressure: A Simplified Model
An elastic-plastic model was developed to describe the deformation and permeability of fractured rocks under confining pressure. Elastic and elastic-plastic contact models were used in the model to analyze the deformations of a representative element containing a single fracture under various confining pressures. The present work utilized elements from contact mechanics and viscous flows to der...
متن کاملGas-liquid Relative Permeability Estimation in 2D Porous Media by Lattice Boltzmann Method: Low Viscosity Ratio 2D LBM Relative Permeability
This work is a primary achievement in studying the CO2 and N2–oil systems. To predict gas-liquid relative permeability curves, a Shan-Chen type multicomponent multiphase lattice Boltzmann model for two-phase flow through 2D porous media is developed. Periodic and bounce back boundary conditions are applied to the model with the Guo scheme for the external body force (i.e.,...
متن کاملCalculation of Equivalent Permeability of Different Fracture Intersections in Fractured Porous Media
This paper reports a case study of calculation of equivalent permeability in Hot Dry Rock (HDR) system using an approach based on finite volume Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. In this case study, mass flow rates of water in two fractures crossing in a 300 mm x 300 mm two-dimensional (2D) block are predicted by CFD method for different pressure drops. The predicted mass flow rates are...
متن کاملUpscaling of Hydraulic Properties of Fractured Porous Media: Full Permeability Tensor and Continuum Scale Simulations
The simulation of flow and transport phenomena in fractured media is a challenging problem. Despite existing advances in computer capabilities, the fact that fractures can occur over a wide range of scales within porous media compromises the development of detailed flow simulations. Current discrete approaches are limited to systems that contain a small number of fractures. Alternatively, conti...
