control of sedimentation in dam reservoirs is considered to be one of the most important issues in exploitation of dams and increasing the their useful life. reservoirs act as traps for sediments and prevent transport of sediment to the river. the deposited sediment decreases the capacity of reservoirs so that they can not be in use any more. various methods dealing with removing part of the de...

co2 injection is an effective technique for improved oil recovery in light oil reservoirs, especially for water flooding abandoned reservoirs. in this study, the lower part of es1 reservoirs in pucheng oilfield was introduced as the target reservoir. by studying the minimum miscible pressure in co2 flooding, the reservoir could achieve miscible flooding. long core displacement experiments prove...

Demand for hydropower is increasing, yet the water footprints (WFs) of reservoirs and hydropower, and their contributions to water scarcity, are poorly understood. Here, we calculate reservoir WFs (freshwater that evaporates from reservoirs) and hydropower WFs (the WF of hydroelectricity) in China based on data from 875 representative reservoirs (209 with power plants). In 2010, the reservoir W...

vartun geothermal region (vgr) is located in west central part of iran, 300 km in the southeast of tehran. vgr area is 277 km2and there are some geothermal surface manifestations such as warm springs and travertine deposits. there are three warm springs which their temperature varies from 35.3 to 43.1 °c. their ph is a little bit acidic and is about 6.1-6.2. based on geothermometery studies var...

Because of different behavior of reservoir water and dam material, the determination of hydrodynamic pressure during earthquake is very complicated. Thus, different formulations have been presented for modeling of the dam reservoir system under dynamic loading such as earthquake. These formulations can be categorized into two general groups, which are Lagrangian and Eulerian, each having advant...

We introduce state-independent, nonperturbative Hamiltonian quantum speed limits for population leakage and fidelity loss, for a gapped open system interacting with a reservoir. These results hold in the presence of initial correlations between the system and the reservoir, under the sole assumption that their interaction and its commutator with the reservoir Hamiltonian are norm bounded. The r...

CO2 injection is an effective technique for improved oil recovery in light oil reservoirs, especially for water flooding abandoned reservoirs. In this study, the lower part of Es1 reservoirs in Pucheng oilfield was introduced as the target reservoir. By studying the minimum miscible pressure in CO2 flooding, the reservoir could achieve miscible flooding. Long core displacement experiments prove...

Echo state networks are a powerful type of reservoir neural network, but the reservoir is essentially unrestricted in its original formulation. Motivated by limitations in neuromorphic hardware, we remove combinations of the four sources of memory—leaking, loops, cycles, and discrete time—to determine how these influence the suitability of the reservoir. We show that loops and cycles can replic...

A concept of "Fractal Fracture Mechanics" for HDR .(Hot Dry Rock) geothermal reservoir design has been developed as an extension of conventional rock fracture mechanics. It is suggested that this concept is successfully applicable to characterize and model subsurface fracture network in HDR geothermal reservoir. Furthermore, this modeling procedure makes it possible to evaluate the thermal ener...

We explore the consequences of a deterministic microscopic thermostat-reservoir contact mechanism for hard disks where the collision rule at the boundary is modified. Numerical evidence and theoretical argument is given that suggests that an energy balance is achieved for a system of hard disks in contact with two reservoirs at equal temperatures. This system however produces entropy near the t...
