Coupling of a two phase gas liquid 3D Darcy flow in fractured porous media with a 1D free gas flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model coupling a three dimensional gas liquid compositional Darcy flow in a fractured porous medium, and a one dimensional compositional free gas flow is presented. The coupling conditions at the interface between the gallery and the porous medium account for the molar normal fluxes continuity for each component, the gas liquid thermodynamical equilibrium, the gas pressure continuity and the gas and liquid molar fractions continuity. The fractures are represented as interfaces of codimension one immersed in the surrounding 3D porous medium, the matrix. Pressure continuity is assumed for both phases at the interfaces between the fracture and the matrix. The spatial discretization is based on the Vertex Approximate Gradient (VAG) scheme in the porous medium coupled with a non conforming control volume finite element discretization in the gallery. This model is applied to the simulation of the mass exchanges at the interface between the repository and the ventilation excavated gallery in a nuclear waste geological repository.

The RealGas and RealGasH2O options of the TOUGH+ code for the simulation of coupled fluid and heat flow in tight/shale gas systems
We developed two new EOS additions to the TOUGH+ family of codes, the RealGasH2O and RealGas. The RealGasH2O EOS option describes the non-isothermal two-phase flow of water and a real gas mixture in a gas reservoir (including a tight/shale gas one). The gas mixture is treated as either a single-pseudocomponent having a fixed composition, or as a multicomponent system composed of up to 9 individ...

Cocurrent spontaneous imbibition (COCSI) of an aqueous phase into matrix blocks arising from capillary forces is an important mechanism for petroleum recovery from fractured petroleum reservoirs. In this work, the modeling of countercurrent imbibition is used to develop the appropriate scaling equations. Considering the imbibition process and the water and oil movement respectively as the wet p...
متن کاملComparison of Binomial and Power Equations in Radial Non-Darcy Flows in Coarse Porous Media
Analysis of non-laminar flows in coarse alluvial beds has a wide range of applications in various civil engineering, oil and gas, and geology problems. Darcy equation is not valid to analyze transient and turbulent flows, so non-linear equations should be applied. Non-linear equations are classified into power and binomial equations. Binomial equation is more accurate in a wide range of velocit...
متن کاملCoupling compositional gas liquid Darcy and free gas flows at porous and free flow domains interface
This paper proposes an efficient splitting algorithm to solve coupled liquid gas Darcy and free gas flows at the interface between a porous medium and a free-flow domain. This model is compared to the reduced model introduced in [6] using a 1D approximation of the gas free flow. For that purpose, the gas molar fraction diffusive flux at the interface in the free-flow domain is approximated by a...
