Simulation of liquid–liquid interfaces 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

Simulation of Foam Transport in Porous Media

FOllin is an excellent fluid for achieving mobility control of gas in porous media. Practical application of fOllins for EOR processes, however requires a predictive model of foam displacement. Further, quantitative information on fOllin-flow behavior at reservoir flow rates llild pressures is required as input to llily field-scale modeling. An experimental and mechanistic-modeling study is rep...

Finite volume hydromechanical simulation in porous media

Cell-centered finite volume methods are prevailing in numerical simulation of flow in porous media. However, due to the lack of cell-centered finite volume methods for mechanics, coupled flow and deformation is usually treated either by coupled finite-volume-finite element discretizations, or within a finite element setting. The former approach is unfavorable as it introduces two separate grid ...
