Analytical 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 کاملLattice model for spontaneous imbibition in porous media: the role of effective tension and universality class.
Recently, anomalous scaling properties of front broadening during spontaneous imbibition of water in Vycor glass, a nanoporous medium, were reported: the mean height and the width of the propagating front increase with time t both proportional to t(1/2). Here, we propose a simple lattice imbibition model and elucidate quantitatively how the correlation range of the hydrostatic pressure and the ...
متن کاملTortuosity-porosity relation in porous media flow.
We study numerically the tortuosity-porosity relation in a microscopic model of a porous medium arranged as a collection of freely overlapping squares. It is demonstrated that the finite-size, slow relaxation and discretization errors, which were ignored in previous studies, may cause significant underestimation of tortuosity. The simple tortuosity calculation method proposed here eliminates th...
متن کاملEffects of Gravity and Inlet/Outlet Location on a Two-Phase Cocurrent Imbibition in Porous Media
We introduce 2D numerical investigations of the problem of gravity and inlet/outlet location effects of water-oil two-phase cocurrent imbibition in a porous medium. Three different cases of side-, top-, and bottom-inlet location are considered. Two-dimensional computations are carried out using the finite element method. Intensive comparisons are done between considering and neglecting gravity ...
متن کاملPlugging of porous media and filters: Maximum clogged porosity
We model porous media as two-dimensional networks of channels. As suspension flows through the network, particles clog channels. Assuming no flow through clogged channels, we determine an upper bound on the number of channels that clog and leave the network impervious. More precisely, the number of channels that clog does not exceed the number of faces of the multigraph associated with the netw...
