Predicting water flow in fully and partially saturated porous media: a new fractal-based permeability model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Predicting the permeability of porous media in saturated and partially conditions is crucial importance many geo-engineering areas, from water resources to vadose zone hydrology or contaminant transport predictions. Many models have been proposed literature estimate properties such as porosity, grain size pore size. In this study, we develop a model for by one two fluid phases with all physically-based parameters using fractal upscaling technique. The related microstructural dimension space, tortuosity, maximum radius, ratio minimum radius saturation irreducible saturation. favorably compared existing widely used literature. Then, comparison published experimental data both unconsolidated consolidated samples, show that medium very well.

Preferential Flow Phenomena in Partially-Saturated Porous Media
Preferential flow in unsaturated porous media, in the form of fingers and channels, has been observed to take place in different types of media and at different scales. The preferential flow is caused by fluid instabilities, created by density or viscosity differences, or because of heterogeneities in the geological media. In this study, two very different types of preferential flow problems ar...

E orts to extend the theory of poroelasticity to semilinear and nonlinear elastic response, to partially saturated pores, to inhomogeneous solid frame materials, and to viscous losses due to localized ow e ects are summarized. The prospects for a comprehensive theory of wave propagation in partially saturated porous media and the reasons for needing such a theory are also discussed. The main re...

متن کاملNumerical Model for Saturated-Unsaturated Flow in Deformable Porous Media
An integrated finite difference algorithm is presented for numerically solving the governing equation of saturated-unsaturated flow in deformable porous media. In recognition that stability of the explicit equation is a local phenomenon a mixed explicit-implicit procedure is used for marching in the time domain. In this scheme the explicit changes in potential are first computed for all element...
متن کاملA New Approach for Constructing Pore Network Model of Two Phase Flow in Porous Media
Development of pore network models for real porous media requires a detailed understanding of physical processes occurring on the microscopic scale and a complete description of porous media morphology. In this study, the microstructure of porous media has been represented by three dimensional networks of interconnected pores and throats which are designed by an object oriented approach. Af...
