    Investigation of Pore-Scale THMC Acid Fracturing Process Considering Heat Conduction Anisotropy

    Kaituo Jiao1, Dongxu Han2,*, Bo Yu2

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.4, pp. 1-5, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09168

    Abstract Acid fracturing is critical to improving the connectivity inside underground reservoirs, which involves a complex thermal-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) coupling process, especially deep underground. Heat conduction anisotropy is one of the intrinsic properties of rock. It determines the heat response distribution inside the rock and alters the temperature evolution on the reactive surface of fractures and pores. In another way, the rock dissolution rate is closely related to the reactive surface temperature. Predictably, heat conduction anisotropy leads to different rock dissolution morphologies from that of the heat conduction isotropy situation, then the cracks distribution and permeability of… More >

    Key Transport Mechanisms in Supercritical CO2 Based Pilot Micromodels Subjected to Bottom Heat and Mass Diffusion

    Karim Ragui1, Mengshuai Chen1,2, Lin Chen1,2,3,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.27, No.3, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.010378

    Abstract The ambiguous dynamics associated with heat and mass transfer of invading carbon dioxide in sub-critical and supercritical states, as well as the response of pore-scale resident fluids, play a key role in understanding CO2 capture and storage (CCUS) and the corresponding phase equilibrium mechanisms. To this end, this paper reveals the transport mechanisms of invading supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) in polluted micromodels using a variant of Lattice-Boltzmann Color Fluid model and descriptive experimental data. The breakthrough time is evaluated by characterizing the displacement velocity, the capillary to pressuredifference ratio, and the transient heat and mass diffusion More >

    INTEGRATED MICRO X-RAY TOMOGRAPHY AND PORE-SCALE SIMULATIONS FOR ACCURATE PERMEABILITY PREDICTIONS OF POROUS MEDIA

    Fangzhou Wanga,* , Gennifer A. Rileyb, Munonyedi Egboc, Melanie M. Derbyb, Gisuk Hwangc, Xianglin Lia,†

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.15, pp. 1-8, 2020, DOI:10.5098/hmt.15.1

    Abstract This study conducts pore-scale simulations and experiments to estimate the permeability of two different types of porous materials: metal foams and sintered copper particles with porosities of approximately 0.9 and 0.4, respectively. The integration of micro X-ray computed tomography with pore-scale computational fluid dynamics simulations develops a unique tool to capture the pore-scale geometry of porous media and accurately predict non-isotropic permeability of porous media. The pore-scale simulation not only results in improved prediction accuracy but also has the capability to capture non-isotropic properties of heterogeneous materials, which is a huge challenge for empirical correlations,… More >

    Pore-Scale Modeling of Navier-Stokes Flow in Distensible Networks and Porous Media

    Taha Sochi1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.99, No.2, pp. 151-168, 2014, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2014.099.151

    Abstract In this paper, a pore-scale network modeling method, based on the flow continuity residual in conjunction with a Newton-Raphson non-linear iterative solving technique, is proposed and used to obtain the pressure and flow fields in a network of interconnected distensible ducts representing, for instance, blood vasculature or deformable porous media. A previously derived analytical expression correlating boundary pressures to volumetric flow rate in compliant tubes for a pressure-area constitutive elastic relation has been used to represent the underlying flow model. Comparison to a preceding equivalent method, the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes finite element, was made and the More >
