oil production optimization is one of the main targets of reservoir management. smart well technology gives the ability of real time oil production optimization. although this technology has many advantages; optimum adjustment or sizing of corresponding valves is still an issue to be solved. in this research, optimum port sizing of inflow control devices (icds) which are passive control valves ...

Arterial reservoir ("windkessel") function, whereby a part of left ventricular (LV) output is stored in elastic arteries during systole and discharged in diastole, is a well-established physiological phenomenon. However, its role in rapid reversal (to left-to-right) and a systolic-to-diastolic shift of shunting across the ductus arteriosus after birth is unknown. To address this question, ducta...

Accurate prediction of petroleum reservoir performance requires reliable models of the often complex reservoir heterogeneity. Geostatistical simulation techniques generate multiple realizations of the reservoir model, all equally likely to be drawn. Traditional to geostatistics, geological continuity is represented through the variogram. The variogram is limited in describing complex geological...

Reservoir resettlement management is the fundamental project to the success of construction of reservoir. Due to the diversity of types of engineering data and trivial content as well as wide range of covers, modern technologies like GIS are required to build the information system and to achieve systematic management of data which can be displayed through diverse methods in order to satisfy re...

We study the evolution of a system of M particles in contact with a large reservoir of N >> M particles. The reservoir is initially in equilibrium at temperature T = β−1. The evolution of the system and reservoir is described via a suitable Kac-style collision process. We show that for large N, this evolution can be effectively described by replacing the reservoir with a Maxwellian thermostat a...
