We consider a porous medium where the pore space is completely filled by three different phases: two immiscible fluids like water and air or oil and a solid phase.

Coulombic interactions significantly influence the behavior of electrolyte plumes at different scales, not only in diffusion-dominated conditions but also in advection-dominated flow regimes [1-3]. To model the spatial behavior of charge-induced interactions in multi-dimensional...

Theory and molecular dynamics simulationsPoster
Due to the size effect of nanochannels and the strong influence of nanochannel surfaces, these ultra-confined water and oil molecules behave extraordinary differently from their bulk counterpart. Therefore, it is of great necessary to study the adsorption and transport of water and oil molecules in the nanochannel.

Shale reservoirs generally have very low porosity and permeability and complex occurrence and transport state, which lead to its unique L-curve production characteristics, representing complicated flow mechanism. A physical experiment using full diameter core was designed to simulate the full lifecycle development process of the shale gas well. From the experiment, many important and...

Due to intense complexity and heterogeneity of pore and throat structure in tight formation, it’s very difficult for representation. In addition, as there abounds in large numbers of micro-nano pores and throats, boundary layer and media deformation effect on pore scale flow cannot be ignored. Therfore, an accurately representative pore network flow model which couples boundary layer and media...

A three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) is used to predict fracture permeability. The LBM is first verified by comparing the predicted permeability of a straight pipe with a rectangular cross section with the analytical solution. Excellent agreement is achieved for various aspect ratios of the cross section. Then the LBM is used to simulate single phase fluid flow in fractures whose...

Porous media has gained an extensive interest in various thermal management applications. The versatile use of such materials in applications requires a better understanding of the thermal-hydraulic performance. the current study is focused on the evaluation of pressure drop through regular (wire mesh system) and irregular (metallic and carbon foams) porous media. Experiments have been...

Fractured geological formations are ubiquitous throughout the world, and their stress-sensitive behaviors are of primary interest in a number of contexts. In this study, a stress sensitivity experiment on carbonate core plugs in which micron Computed Tomography (μ-CT) technology is applied to visualize and quantitatively evaluate morphological changes to the fracture aperture with respect to...

Sorption competition onto Fe-(oxyhydr-)oxides surfaces is a well-known mechanism controlling the release and mobility of arsenic (As) in subsurface (Dixit & Hering, 2006). Over the last decades, surface complexation models (SCMs) have been implemented to model interactions between sorbants and mineral-oxides surfaces by considering the thermodynamic properties underlying complexation and...

Abstract: To research the influence of interfacial tension of fracturing fluid on spontaneous imbibiton in low-permeability water-wet reservoir, a spontaneous imbibition model was constructed upon a modified LW imbibition model includes hydrostatic pressure and flow resistance with fractal theory, and the relationship between spontaneous imbibition volume and imbibition time was described by...

The geologic sequestration of CO2 is a potential solution for decreasing anthropogenic atmospheric CO2 emissions by trapping it underground. A primary mechanism for storage is structural trapping where low permeability and high capillary entry pressure caprock materials hold back the buoyant CO2 from rising to the surface. The wettability (or contact angle) of reservoir and caprock materials...

We study a simple model for the transport of polymer particles injected along with water in a porous rock containing oil. The main goal of this technique is to recover oil that remains trapped after waterflood. Such enhancement occurs through a microscopic diversion of the water flow caused by clogging of narrow pore throats by the injected particles. The diverted flow may lead to the...

Porous interfaces are encountered across a broad range of length scales, both in natural and engineering flow systems. Understanding the coupling between the free flow and the pore flow is key to accurately predicting many important biogeochemical processes occurring in such systems. This is particularly true when the free flow is turbulent and the coupling involves an intermediate region...

Subsurface fluid injection is a proposed method for the storage of hydrocarbon fuels and the mitigation of fossil fuel emissions. Concerns about leakage exist when storing fluids in the subsurface given their potential to damage functional groundwater aquifers or be emitted to the atmosphere. Defects detrimental to the integrity of subsurface storage systems can occur in and around the...
