Multiscale Model Reduction Methods for Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media

چکیده
In this paper we provide a general framework for model reduction methods applied to fluid flow in porous media. Using reduced basis and numerical homogenization techniques we show that the complexity of the numerical approximation of Stokes flow in heterogeneous media can be drastically reduced. The use of such a computational framework is illustrated at several model problems such as two and three scale porous media.

Multiscale Multiphysic Mixed Geomechanical Model for Deformable Porous Media Considering the Effects of Surrounding Area
Porous media of hydro-carbon reservoirs is influenced from several scales. Effective scales of fluid phases and solid phase are different. To reduce calculations in simulating porous hydro-carbon reservoirs, each physical phenomenon should be assisted in the range of its effective scale. The simulating with fine scale in a multiple physics hydro-carbon media exceeds the current computational ca...
متن کاملMultiscale finite element methods for porous media flows and their applications
In this paper, we discuss some applications of multiscale finite element methods to two-phase immiscible flow simulations in heterogeneous porous media. We discuss some extensions of multiscale finite element methods which take into account some limited global information. These methods are well suited for channelized porous media, where the long-range effects are important. This is typical for...
متن کاملA stochastic multiscale framework for modeling flow through random heterogeneous porous media
Flow through porous media is ubiquitous, occurring from large geological scales down to the microscopic scales. Several critical engineering phenomena like contaminant spread, nuclear waste disposal and oil recovery rely on accurate analysis and prediction of these multiscale phenomena. Such analysis is complicated by inherent uncertainties as well as the limited information available to charac...
متن کاملMultiscale model reduction techniques for ows in high-contrast porous media and applications
The development of numerical algorithms for modeling ow processes in large-scale highly heterogeneous formations is very challenging because the properties of natural geologic porous formations (e.g., permeability) display high variability levels and complex spatial correlation structures, which span a rich hierarchy of length scales. Thus, it is usually necessary to resolve a wide range of len...

Deterioration of groundwater resources in coastal regions due to the progression of saline water in aquifers in these regions is currently one of the important issues in providing water needs in these areas. In coastal regions, saline water enters the aquifer from below in shape of wedge. Due to the difference in the density between fresh and salty water, an interface zone forms between two flu...
