Operator Based Multiscale Method for Compressible Flow

چکیده
Accurate simulation of subsurface flow with detailed geologic description is of great academic and industrial interest. Fully fine-scale simulation is usually too expensive. The multiscale method is developed to capture fine-scale information without solving fine-scale equations. It is more efficient than fine-scale simulation methods and more accurate than traditional upscaling techniques. Previous existing multiscale methods deal with the incompressible flow problems only. However, compressibility will be very significant if one of the fluid phases is gas. Gas has a large compressibility, and its compressibility is usually a strong function of pressure. Therefore, there can be a significant spatial variation of compressibility in the reservoir, and this is a challenge for multiscale modeling. Motivated to construct a general multiscale framework that can deal with complicated physics, we develope an Operator Based Multiscale Method (OBMM). In this method, we first construct two multiscale operators — prolongation and restriction. Using the two operators, we construct the coarse-scale equations from fine-scale equations through simple algebraic operations. Then, we solve for the coarse-scale variables and reconstruct the fine-scale solution as in previous methods. The algorithm is succinct, and it is a general algebraic framework. As an example, compressibility can be naturally included into this framework. Numerical examples show the accuracy and efficiency of this method.

Adaptive Algebraic Multiscale Solver for Compressible Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
This paper presents the development of an Adaptive Algebraic Multiscale Solver for Compressible flow (C-AMS) in heterogeneous porous media. Similar to the recently developed AMS for incompressible (linear) flows [Wang et al., JCP, 2014], C-AMS operates by defining primal and dual-coarse blocks on top of the fine-scale grid. These coarse grids facilitate the construction of a conservative (finit...

In order to investigate turbulent phenomena in compressible flows the Variational Multiscale method is used. This method is usually applied to incompressible flows. In a first step, we derive the VMS method for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The resulting weak formulation of the flow equations is split into resolved and unresolved scales using multiresolution techniques based on bior...

The Multiscale Finite-Volume (MSFV) method has been recently developed and tested for multiphase-flow problems with simplified physics (i.e. incompressible flow without gravity and capillary effects) and proved robust, accurate and efficient. However, applications to practical problems necessitate extensions that enable the method to deal with more complex processes. In this paper we present a ...
