foam injection is widely applied in amounts of fields to drilling, production, and formation protection. sometimes, the application result is disappointing, which is caused by the failure of bubble generation in foam flooding. therefore, it is necessary to seek ways for improving the performance of foam injection. an increased disturbance to the stratum, like the vibration caused by a seismic o...

This paper presents a numerical study of microwave scattering and emission from a foamcovered ocean surface. The foam layer is modeled as an inhomogeneous layer with randomly rough airfoam and foam-seawater boundaries. Kelvin’s Tetrakaidecahedron structure is selected as the skeleton for simulating the air bubbles in the foam layer. The electromagnetic characteristics of the foam layer, includi...

Numerous reservoirs that play a significant role in worldwide petroleum production and reserves contain fractures. Typically, the fractures must form connected network for reservoir to be classified as naturally fractured. Characterizing with focus on its fracture is crucial modeling predicting performance. To simplify solution, dual-continuum techniques are commonly employed. However, use cont...

The geometric confinement significantly affects the foam coarsening dynamics in porous media. We present experimental and modeling studies of coarsening-induced structural evolution a microfluidic chip. findings are expected to shed light on predicting structure many applications, such as foam-assisted enhanced oil recovery process CO 2 geological sequestration. It is shown that, media, small b...

In this paper, we present an immersed boundary (IB) method to simulate a dry foam, i.e., a foam in which most of the volume is attributed to its gas phase. Dry foam dynamics involves the interaction between a gas and a collection of thin liquidfilm internal boundaries that partition the gas into discrete cells or bubbles. The liquid film boundaries are flexible, contract under the influence of ...

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was evaluated as a simpler and more effective alternative to conventional extraction methods for the isolation of curcuminoids from turmeric plant rhizomes. The turmeric samples were extracted under indirect sonication in an ultrasonic bath, and compared with the conventional methods. It was found that the yield of ultrasound-assisted extraction was approxim...

Foam dynamics is gaining interests within Computational Fluid Dynamics and Computer Graphics. We believe that liquid foam, or froth, is the next evolution in the field of fluid dynamics. Froth is the natural phenomenon of bubbles that arise due to nucleation of gas in liquids. As the physics of foams in two dimensions is better understood this thesis begins the journey of physics-based foam dyn...

This investigation presents the effect of various parameters on foam stability and its rheological properties. The underlying idea of this experiment is generating of drilling foam with uniform bubbles. The main problem of foam using is controlling its stability during field application. The most important parameters which cause Instability in foam are gravity drainage, gas diffusion and bubble...
