Size exclusion during particle suspension transport in porous media: stochastic and averaged equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A population balance model is formulated for transport of stable particulate suspensions in porous media. Equations for particle and pore size distributions were derived from the stochastic Master equation. The model accounts for particle flow reduction due to restriction for large particles to move through small pores. An analytical solution for low particle concentration is obtained for general particle and pore size distributions. The averaged equations differ significantly from the traditional deep bed filtration model. Mathematical subject classification: 76S05, 60H15.

A “v2-f Based” Macroscopic K-Ε Model for Turbulent Flow through Porous Media
In this paper a new macroscopic k-ε model is developed and validated for turbulent flow through porous media for a wide range of porosities. The morphology of porous media is simulated by a periodic array of square cylinders. In the first step, calculations based on microscopic v2 − f model are conducted using a Galerkin/Least-Squares finite element formulation, employing equalorder bilinear ve...
متن کاملTransport Property Estimation of Non-Uniform Porous Media
In this work a glass micromodel which its grains and pores are non-uniform in size, shape and distribution is considered as porous medium. A two-dimensional random network model of micromodel with non-uniform pores has been constructed. The non-uniformity of porous model is achieved by assigning parametric distribution functions to pores throat and pores length, which was measured using ima...
متن کاملNetwork Model for Straining Dominated Particle Entrapment in Porous Media
A network model has been developed to study and describe formation damage resulting from particle entrapment in porous media by straining or size exclusion. Unlike the previous network models, this model considers the simultaneous entry ofa number of particles into the network, as well as the effects of fluid flow on the particle transport path. A systematic study has been carried out on the fl...
متن کاملA Derivation of Akcasu’s “mlp” Equations for 1-d Particle Transport in Stochastic Media
This paper presents a new derivation of Akcasu’s Modified Levermore-Pomraning (MLP) model for estimating the ensemble-averaged angular flux for particle transport problems in 1-D geometrically random media. The significant new feature of the MLP equations is that, unlike the earlier Levermore-Pomraning (LP) model, the MLP equations are exact for certain classes of problems with scattering.
متن کاملOn the Performance of Different Empirical Loss Equations for Flow Through Coarse Porous Media (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, the empirical equations that estimate hydraulic parameters for non-linear flow through coarse porous media are evaluated using a series of independent data collected in the laboratory. In this regard, three different relatively uniform soils ranging in size from 8.5 to 27.6 mm have been selected and three random samples drawn from each material. The physical characteristics such ...
