Oil field subsidence phenomena

Test Field for Insar Urban Subsidence Studies

Advanced INSAR techniques using stable targets on the ground, such as buildings, have been successfully applied to deformation studies in city areas. However, in some cases high-quality reference measurements have not been available and the validations of the INSAR results have been based on data that probably is not adequate for this purpose. In 2005 the Finnish Geodetic Institute (FGI) establ...

Electrokinetic Phenomena of Modified Polytetrafluoroethylene Membranes in the Oily Sewage from Oil Field

Experimental investigations of electrokinetic phenomena of modified polytetrafluoroethylene membranes in the oily sewage from oil field were performed by using the streaming potential method. The zeta potentials of the membranes in the oily waste water are estimated on the basis of Helmholtz—Smoluchowski equation. The experiment and calculation results show that the membranes are charged negati...

High-Field Phenomena of Qubits

Electron and nuclear spins are very promising candidates to serve as quantum bits (qubits) for proposed quantum computers, as the spin degrees of freedom are relatively isolated from their surroundings and can be coherently manipulated, e.g., through pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). For solid-state spin systems, impurities in crystals based on c...

Quantitative phase-field modeling for boiling phenomena.

A phase-field model is developed for quantitative simulation of bubble growth in the diffusion-controlled regime. The model accounts for phase change and surface tension effects at the liquid-vapor interface of pure substances with large property contrast. The derivation of the model follows a two-fluid approach, where the diffuse interface is assumed to have an internal microstructure, defined...
