Scaling of convective mixing in porous media.
Convective mixing in porous media is triggered by a Rayleigh-Bénard-type hydrodynamic instability as a result of an unstable density stratification of fluids. While convective mixing has been studied extensively, the fundamental behavior of the dissolution flux and its dependence on the system parameters are not yet well understood. Here, we show that the dissolution flux and the rate of fluid ...
متن کاملStretching, coalescence, and mixing in porous media.
We study scalar mixing in heterogeneous conductivity fields, whose structural disorder varies from weak to strong. A range of stretching regimes is observed, depending on the level of structural heterogeneity, measured by the log-conductivity field variance. We propose a unified framework to quantify the overall concentration distribution predicting its shape and rate of deformation as it progr...
متن کاملTopological Mixing in Three-Dimensional Porous Media
The topological complexity inherent to all porous media can impart complicated transport dynamics under steady flow conditions. Recently, it has been established [2] that such topological complexity imparts ubiquitous and persistent chaotic advection via a 3D fluid mechanical analogue of the baker’s map. In the presence of molecular diffusion, chaotic Lagrangian dynamics are well-known to impar...
متن کاملNumerical Investigations of Mixing in Physically Heterogeneous Porous Media using the One- and Two-Particle Covariance
Several works have pointed out that local dispersion plays a crucial role in determining the behavior of the concentration variance and coef¿cient of variation over time for conservative tracers. Numerical investigations aimed at evaluating the effect of the local dispersivity on dilution time scales are performed using a random-walk particle-tracking method model applied to transport of conser...
متن کاملMultilevel Upscaling in Heterogeneous Porous Media
The multiscale structure of heterogeneous porous media prevents a straightforward numerical treatment of the underlying mathematical ow models. In particular, fully resolved ow simulations are intractable and yet the ne-scale structure of a porous medium may signiicantly innuence the coarse-scale properties of the solution (e.g., average ow rates). Consequently, homogenization or upscaling proc...
