in this work, studies of underground gas storage (ugs) were performed on a partially depleted, naturally fractured gas reservoir through compositional simulation. reservoir dynamic model was calibrated by history matching of about 20 years of researvoir production. effects of fracture parameters, i.e. fracture shape factor, fracture permeability and porosity were studied. results showed that di...

this paper presents a three-dimensional numerical investigation carried out in turbulent forced convection in a tube with helical ribs. enhancement of heat transfer using helically corrugated tubes has beenstudied experimentally by many researchers but there exist a few published numerical analyses results. the paper also introduces the results of heat transfer and friction factor data for inco...

Flow visualization techniques using tracer markers such as die, smoke, hydrogen bubbles, etc., have been widely used in experimental investigations of large scale structures of a variety of flow fields. They have played an important role in understanding the physics of the coherent structures formation and evolution in the transitional as well as the turbulent regions of the flow fields. Howeve...

abstract bottom rack intake is one of the most popular structures used for diverting water in mountain region. corrosion and rotten problems of bottom racks inspire the introduction of a new system of bottom intake in which a porous media is replaced by the bottom rack. obviously, clogging and reduction of diverted discharge are the most important problems in this new system, too. in this paper...

underground dams have recently been considered as hydrological structures for the development of water resources, especially in the dry regions of iran. in this investigation along with the basic studies and the aquifer flow modeling, the probable hydrogeological effects of an underground dam are investigated. the proposed place for the ganjeh underground dam is chehel-khaneh aquifer located in...
