Gas reservoirs with low permeability (k<0.1 mD) are among the unconventional reservoirs and are commonly termed as "Tight Gas Reservoirs". In conventional gas reservoirs that have high permeability, the flow of gas is basically controlled by the reservoir permeability and it is calculated using the Darcy equation. In these reservoirs, gas flow due to gas diffusion is ignored compared to Dar...

the consolidation test method proposed by terzaghi and used in most soil mechanic laboratories has limitations and weaknesses. to get correct results, improvement and modification of the test method is essential. several experimental methods, such as constant loading rate, gradient and constant rate of strain (crs) have been used over the past 40 years. of these methods, crs is more advantageou...

[1] This paper presents an approximate analytical solution for non-Darcy flow of a slightly compressible fluid through a fractured reservoir. The analytical solution is obtained using the traditional Warren-Root solution superposed on a dimensionless non-Darcy flow coefficient. The model formulation incorporates the Forchheimer equation into the Warren-Root model for describing non-Darcy flow t...

rock has been advantageously employed in hydraulic structures such as rockfill dams, gabion weirs and drain works. one rockfill dam applications can be flood control in wa-tershed management. the objectives of building rockfill detention dams are flow storage for a specific period and lowering of the outflow hydrograph. as this type of dam consists of coarse particles, seepage flow will deviate...

Due to the long-term fluid-solid interactions in waterflooding, the tremendous variation of oil reservoir formation parameters will lead to the widespread evolution of preferential flow paths, thereby preventing the further enhancement of recovery efficiency because of unstable fingering and premature breakthrough. To improve oil recovery, the characterization of preferential flow paths is esse...

The problem of hydrodynamic dispersion in non-Darcy free convection heat and mass transfer from vertical surface embedded in a porous medium has been presented. The Forchheimer extension is considered in the flow equations. The flow, temperature and concentration fields in Darcy and non-Darcy porous media are observed to be governed by complex interactions among the diffusion rate Le, buoyancy ...

We propose and analyze a hybrid discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution 10 of incompressible flow problems, which allows to deal with pure Stokes, pure Darcy, and 11 coupled Darcy-Stokes flow in a unified manner. The flexibility of the method is demonstrated 12 in numerical examples.

The Flow through saturated-unsaturated porous media is extremely important in various natural and industrial based applications. While the Darcy&apos;s law with various modifications are used to model the flow through a porous media, the flow through unsaturated porous media is largely based on conservation of mass and modified Darcy&apos;s law where non-linear relationship exists between the p...

We consider a model for flow in a porous medium with a fracture in which the flow in the fracture is governed by the Darcy-Forchheimer law while that in the surrounding matrix is governed by Darcy’s law. We give an appropriate mixed, variational formulation and show existence and uniqueness of the solution. To show existence we give an analogous formulation for the model in which the Darcy-Forc...
