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...

Adaptive Multiscale Finite-Volume Method for Multiphase Flow and Transport in Porous Media

We present a multiscale finite-volume (MSFV) method for multiphase flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media. The approach extends our recently developed MSFV method for single-phase flow. We use a sequential scheme that deals with flow (i.e., pressure and total velocity) and transport (i.e., saturation) separately and differently. For the flow problem, we employ two different sets of ba...

A 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...

An Adaptive Multiscale Method for Simulation of Fluid Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media

Several multiscale methods for elliptic problems that provide high resolution velocity fields at low computational cost have been applied to porous media flow problems. However, to achieve enhanced accuracy in the flow simulation, the numerical scheme for modeling the transport must account for the fine scale structures in the velocity field. To solve the transport equation on the fine scale wi...

Efficiency Study of the Multiscale Finite Volume Formulation for Multiphase Flow and Transport a Report Submitted to the Department of Energy Resources Engineering of Stanford University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science

Multiscale methods have been developed to solve multiphase flow and transport problems in large-scale heterogeneous porous media accurately and efficiently. In this report, the computational efficiency of the multiscale finite-volume method (MSFV) is analyzed. The power of MSFV lies in its ability to combine local basis functions with a global coarse-scale problem to solve highly details hetero...
