MS 2.02: Modeling and simulation of subsurface flow at various scales

Oral 20 Minutes

In this work, we consider multi-physics problems (flow, transport, and mechanics) in fractured porous media and present upscaling and multiscale methods for construction of a coarse-grid model. We propose a rigorous and accurate multiscale solver and upscaling framework based on some recently developed multiscale methods. Our proposed method consists of identifying multicontinua parameters via...

MS 2.02: Modeling and simulation of subsurface flow at various scales

Oral 20 Minutes

In this talk we will introduce a one-domain approach based on the Brinkman model for the modeling and simulation of the transport phenomenon between free fluid and a porous medium. A thin transition layer is introduced between the free fluid region and the porous media region, across which the porosity and permeability undergo a rapid but continuous change. We study the behavior of the...

MS 2.02: Modeling and simulation of subsurface flow at various scales

Oral 20 Minutes

We investigate pore scale drainage associated with immiscible displacement of brine by CO$_{2}$ in a porous medium, using state-of-the-art multi-GPU lattice Boltzmann (LB) simulations. Our goal is to better understand the pore scale processes involved in the geological sequestration of CO$_{2}$. Correctly resolving the pore scale dynamics of multiphase flow in permeable media is of paramount...

MS 2.02: Modeling and simulation of subsurface flow at various scales

Oral 20 Minutes

CO2 sequestration in subsurface often suffers from poor volumetric sweep efficiency due to low gas viscosity, low gas density, and formation heterogeneity. This study aims to investigate CO2 mobility control techniques of Water Alternating Gas (WAG) and Surfactant (or Nanoparticle) Alternating Gas (SAG) to increase CO2 storage capacity in Cranfield Field, Mississippi via field-scale...

MS 2.02: Modeling and simulation of subsurface flow at various scales

Oral 20 Minutes

Recently, the accurate and efficient modeling of flow-structure interactions has gained more importance and attention for both petroleum and environmental engineering applications. Three main coupling approaches exist in practice: the fully implicit, the explicit or loose coupling, and the iterative coupling methods. The first approach solves the two problems simultaneously, and is considered...
