A Simplified Dual-Porosity Model for Two-Phase Flow

نویسنده

  • Todd Arbogast
چکیده

A model for two-phase, incompressible, immiscible fluid flow in a highly fractured porous medium is derived as a simplification of a much more detailed dual-porosity model. This simplified model has a nonlinear matrixfracture interaction, and it is more general than similar existing “transfer function” models. It is computationally less complex than the detailed model, and simulation results are presented which assess any loss in accuracy. It is shown that the new model approximates capillary effects quite well, and better than similar existing models.

Simulation of Boiling in a Vertical Channel Using Ensemble Average Model

Simulation of turbulence boiling, generation of vapour and predication of its behaviour are still subject to debate in the two-phase flow area and they receive a high level of worldwide attention. In this study, a new arrangement of the three dimensional governing equations for turbulence two-phase flow with heat and mass transfer are derived by using ensemble averaging two-fluid model and ...

Study of MHD Second Grade Flow through a Porous Microchannel under the Dual-Phase-Lag Heat and Mass Transfer Model

A semi-analytical investigation has been carried out to analyze unsteady MHD second-grade flow under the Dual-Phase-Lag (DPL) heat and mass transfer model in a vertical microchannel filled with porous material. Diffusion thermo (Dufour) effects and homogenous chemical reaction are considered as well. The governing partial differential equations are solved by using the Laplace transform method w...

A New Design of Dual Band Phase Shifter using MEMS Technology

Abstract - This paper presents a new design of microwave microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) phase shifter for dual band wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. A bit is designed which product a constant phase shift of 11.25° by switching between two line that consist of 12 and 6 unitcells in each frequency band. A unitcell is constructed by gold membrane suspended over the coplanar ...

Time analysis of the three characteristic behaviours of dual-porosity media. I: fluid flow and solute transport

Homogenisation of consolidation and compressible fluid flow in dual-porosity media has highlighted the existence of three characteristic macroscopic behaviours. These three behaviours are, namely, a dual-porosity description which includes memory effects, a single-porosity description with which the micro-porosity is simply ignored, and an intermediate behaviour which we refer as behaviour with...

Analysis of a Multiple-porosity Model for Single-phase Flow through Naturally Fractured Porous Media

A model for single-phase flow in porous media that are hierarchically fissured in regular patterns was derived by a recursive asymptotic expansion technique in [16] and part of [24]. This work rigorously justifies that model. Through recursive homogenization, we extend the doubleporosity model in [5], which has one fracture system and a matrix (rock) block system, to a triple-porosity model tha...
