Self-organized gradient percolation method for numerical simulation of impregnation in porous media

Absolute Permeability Calculation by Direct Numerical Simulation in Porous Media

Simulating fluid flow at micro level is an ongoing problem. Simplified macroscopic flow models like Darcy’s law is unable to estimate fluid dynamic properties of porous media. The digital sample reconstruction by high resolution X-ray computed tomography scanning and fluid-dynamics simulation, together with the increasing power of super-computers, allow to carry out pore-scale simulations throu...

Numerical Simulation of Combustion in Porous Media

Fluid invasion in porous media: viscous gradient percolation.

We suggest that the dynamics of stable viscous invasion fronts in porous media depends on the volume capacitance of the media. At high volume capacitance, our network simulations provide numerical evidence of a scaling relation between the front width and its velocity. In the low volume capacitance regime, we derive a new effective scaling supported by network simulations and that is in agreeme...

numerical simulation of fluid flow in random granular porous media using lattice boltzmann method

in this paper, fluid flow between two parallel flat plates that are partially filled with two-dimension porous media is investigated numerically using single relaxation time (srt) lattice boltzmann method (lbm) at pore scale. the considered obstacles are random, circular, rigid and granular with uniform diameters. single component and single-phase viscous newtonian fluid are considered as worki...

Stochastic porous media equation and self-organized criticality

The existence and uniqueness of nonnegative strong solutions for stochastic porous media equations with noncoercive monotone diffusivity function and Wiener forcing term is proven. The finite time extinction of solutions with high probability is also proven in 1-D. The results are relevant for self-organized critical behaviour of stochastic nonlinear diffusion equations with critical states. AM...
