Carbonate reservoirs hold almost half of the world’s oil and gas reserves. Many giants carbonate fields are rather mature, been producing for 50 or even 100 years; these are ready for some form of gas-flooding, EOR. More precise reservoir characterization can lead to better modeling of EOR schemes for these giant/mature fields.
Characterization of carbonate reservoirs is a complicated task...
Based on the volumetric flow rate in immiscible two-phase flow in porous media under steady-state conditions* being an Euler homogeneous function of order one, we have earlier derived a set of relations between velocities that descibe the flow of the two immiscible fluids. These velocities we call thermodynamic velocities and they are distinct from the seepage velocity of each fluid. However,...
A two- or three-dimensional nonlinear model for the inertial incompressible viscous fluid flow at a
fluid-porous interface is proposed [1]. The interfacial region between the pure fluid and the homogeneous porous region is viewed as a thin transition porous layer characterized by evolving heterogeneities [2-4]. An asymptotic analysis [5] is applied to the homogenized Navier-Stokes equation...
Foods provide challenging settings for testing porous media physics-based theories. Foods are heterogeneous materials composed of macromolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids with continuously evolving structures and material properties during processing. Treating foods as porous materials to model the fundamental transport mechanisms and their effect on product quality is of...
