Sulfate scale deposition (BaSO4, CaSO4, and SrSO4) is a common problem in oilfield operations around the world, which causes significant formation damage during production and injection activities. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the permeability reduction of porous media due to sulfate scale deposition. A set of experiments were cond...

According to the former researcher’s presented relations for flow through rock-fill porous media, the effects of physical characteristics was not studied separately. Hence, due to the application of these relations, physical characteristics of porous materials effect must be investigated separately. In various constructed physical models of porous media, the effect of several variables such as ...

The permeability and tortuosity of pore-scale two and three-dimensional random porous media were calculated using the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Effects of geometrical parameters of medium on permeability and tortuosity were investigated as well. Two major models of random porous media were reconstructed by computerized tomography method: Randomly distributed rectangular obstacles in a uni...

Electroosmosis in homogeneously charged micro- and nanoscale random porous media has been numerically investigated using mesoscopic simulation methods which involve a random generation-growth method for reproducing three-dimensional random microstructures of porous media and a high-efficiency lattice Poisson-Boltzmann algorithm for solving the strongly nonlinear governing equations of electroos...

In this study an experimental work was performed to examine the effect of porous media on the heat transfer from a cylindrical heater in the case of steady-state forced convection. Porous media consisted of Spherical glasses of diameter 0.6 cm and air was used as the cooling fluid. The bulk temperature was approximated by the inlet temperature and Properties of the air were found at the film te...

Considering the numerous applications of the study of the flow due to leakage in a buried pipe in unsaturated porous media, finding a proper model to explain the influence of the effective factors is of great importance.There are various important factors involved in this type of flow such as: pipe leakage size and location, burial depth, the degree of the saturation of the surrounding porous m...

resin transfer molding (rtm) is a composite manufacturing process. a preformed fiber is placed in a closed mold and a viscous resin is injected into the mold. in this paper, a model is developed to predict the flow pattern, extent of reaction and temperature change during filling and curing in a thin rectangular mold. a numerical simulation is presented to predict the free surface and its inter...

a pressure-based coupled heat and mass transfer model was used to simulate temperature and soil suction in a drying process within a clay soil column. closed form functions were used for all parameters needed in the governing equations. model predictions were compared with experimental data using the mean relative percentage deviation method. thermocouples and mini-gypsum blocks were used t...
