(MS21) Non-linear effects in flow and transport through porous media

Oral Presentation

It is widely known that the motion of a gas at a low Mach number can be approximated as an incompressible flow at the leading order in a small Mach number expansion of the full solution (Anderson 1995; Panton 2013). However, it has been shown recently that such an incompressible approximation becomes invalid for a semi-sealed system with no inlets and no boundary movements. Studies based on...

(MS21) Non-linear effects in flow and transport through porous media

Oral Presentation

Invasion of a fluid in a porous medium filled with another fluid immiscible to the injected one produces a wide variety of displacement patterns depending on the fluids’ viscosity contrast and the capillary number of the flow. In the case of a low-viscosity fluid advancing through a high-viscosity immiscible fluid, a viscous instability occurs, leading to viscous fingers which have long been...

430. Modeling Non-Newtonian Polymer Flooding in Heterogeneous Carbonate Rock: An Experimental and Simulation Investigation

(MS21) Non-linear effects in flow and transport through porous media

Oral Presentation

Polymer flooding is a widely used chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technique in carbonate reservoirs that can decrease water-oil mobility ratio and thereby enhance sweep efficiency. However, the accuracy of simulating polymer flooding in porous media relies on integrated characterization on polymer properties, especially rheological behavior of polymer. The objective of this study is to...

543. Incorporating Pore Size Distribution into Dynamic Permeability Modelling for Porous Media

(MS21) Non-linear effects in flow and transport through porous media

Oral Presentation

Previous dynamic permeability models often relied on simplified and assumed pore-scale parameters such as average pore radius, potentially leading to inaccuracies. This study introduces a novel approach that directly incorporates measured pore size distributions, addressing these limitations and providing a more realistic representation of fluid flow in porous media. Key findings include:

(MS21) Non-linear effects in flow and transport through porous media

Oral Presentation

Dissolution of bubbles in porous media affects many important geological and engineering processes, such as CO$_{2}$ sequestration, hydrogen storage, fuel cell water management and Li-battery electrolyte filling. However, although dissolution of continuous gas phase has been investigated extensively, there is still no universal theory for static bubble dissolution kinetics in porous media. We...
