Streamline-based simulation of nanoparticle transport in field-scale heterogeneous subsurface systems

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Streamline-based simulation of virus transport resulting from long term artificial recharge in a heterogeneous aquifer

The likelihood for viruses, protozoan oocysts, and other human pathogens to enter groundwater, and in particular, sensitive or vulnerable water supplies, has increased as the numbers of anthropogenic sources such as septic systems, leaking sewers, animal farming operations, and artificial recharge of treated wastewater have proliferated. In this paper, we utilize a detailed numerical model of g...

Streamline Based Flow Simulation

23 Although reservoir flow simulation is a mature technology, there is a general lack of understanding in the oil and gas industry as to when it should be applied, the limitations of it and how recent technical improvements have changed simulation. Streamline models have dramatically changed simulation work and made predictions better. Simple workflow and quality control issues are absolutely c...

Simulation of Large-Scale Heterogeneous Communication Systems

Large-scale hybrid networks that include wireless, wired, and satellite-based communications are becoming common in both military and commercial situations. This paper describes a scalable simulation environment that effectively utilizes parallel execution to reduce the simulation time of detailed high-fidelity models of large communication networks. The paper also presents a set of case studie...
