Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of multiphase flow through porous media is undergoing intense development, mostly due to the recent introduction of new methods. After the profound changes induced by percolation in the eighties, attention is nowadays focused on the pore scale. The physical situation is complex and only recently have tools become available that allow significant progress to be made in the area. This volume on Multiphase Flow in Porous Media, which is also being published as a special issue of the journal Transport in Porous Media, contains contributions on the lattice-Boltzmann technique, the renormalization technique, and semi-phenomenological studies at the pore level. Attention is mostly focused on two- and three-phase flows. These techniques are of tremendous importance for the numerous applications of multiphase flows in oil fields, unsaturated soils, the chemical industry, and environmental sciences.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to the complicated nature of a porous medium, study of dynamics of fluid flow in such structures is not straightforward. Therefore, researchers have been using simplified one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) porous media models like capillary tubes, micro-models and micro-fluidic devices to perform such studies. We utilized both of these categories to investigate different parameters affecting the flow of fluids in a porous medium. In 1D, capillary tubes of different cross-sectional shapes and several wetting fluids are used to investigate the evolution of dynamic contact angle with the meniscus velocity. The meniscus rise vs. time curves produced by Washburn's equation are improved by implementing our experimentally measured dynamic contact angle values into the Washburn's original equation. A general empirical correlation is presented for variation of normalized rise with dynamic contact angle as well. In the second category, a novel two-phase, two-field-of-view micro-Particle-Image-Velocimetry system is developed. It allows simultaneous study of flow fields at the pore- and micromodel-scales and provides a deeper insight into the distribution of fluids. The effect of change of flow rate on shear stress at the interface of invading and defending fluids in a designed pore-doublet configuration made of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is studied. The impact of local perturbations of velocity fields on displacement of non-wetting phase and the residual trapping is also discussed. We show that these effects produce extensively different distributions of the trapped non-wetting phase globules. A modified 2D X-ray micro-computed tomography image of Bentheimer sandstone is replicated on PDMS. Single-phase velocity measurements in these models afford valuable insights into the complicated flow patterns through a porous medium; whereas in two-phase flow tests, in addition to resolving the velocity fields in both fluids, effects of changes in invading wetting phase flow rate and viscosity on pore fluid configuration and residual trapping is investigated as well. Not only these results provide a valuable understanding of the complexities of flow through porous systems, but also they can be used to validate the numerical models of fluid flow through porous systems.

Download or read book Flow and Transformations in Porous Media written by Renaud Toussaint and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid flow in transforming porous rocks, fracture networks, and granular media is a very active interdisciplinary research subject in Physics, Earth Sciences, and Engineering. Examples of natural and engineered processes include hydrocarbon recovery, carbon dioxide geo-sequestration, soil drying and wetting, pollution remediation, soil liquefaction, landslides, dynamics of wet or dry granular media, dynamics of faulting or friction, volcanic eruptions, gas venting in sediments, karst development and speleogenesis, ore deposit development, and radioactive waste disposal. Hydrodynamic flow instabilities and pore scale disorder typically result in complex flow patterning. In transforming media, additional mechanisms come into play: compaction, de-compaction, erosion, segregation, and fracturing lead to changes in permeability over time. Dissolution, precipitation, and chemical reactions between solutes and solids may gradually alter the composition and structure of the solid matrix, either creating or destroying permeable paths for fluid flow. A complex, dynamic feedback thus arises where, on the one hand, the fluid flow affects the characteristics of the porous medium, and on the other hand the changing medium influences the fluid flow. This Research Topic Ebook presents current research illustrating the depth and breadth of ongoing work in the field of flow and transformation in porous media through 15 papers by 72 authors from around the world. The body of work highlights the challenges posed by the vast range of length- and time-scales over which subsurface flow processes occur. Importantly, phenomena from each scale contribute to the larger-scale behavior. The flow of oil and gas in reservoirs, and the flow of groundwater on catchment scale is sensitively linked to pore scale processes and material heterogeneity down to the micrometer scale. The geological features of the same reservoirs and catchments evolved over millions of years, sometimes as a consequence of cracking and fracture growth occurring on the time scale of microseconds. The research presented by the authors of this Research Topic represents a step toward bridging the separation of scales as well as the separation of scientific disciplines so that a more unified picture of flow and transformation in porous media can start to emerge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the influence of pore-throat size distribution, pore connectivity, and microscale fractures, the transport, distribution, and residual saturation of fluids in porous media are difficult to characterize. Petrophysical methods in natural porous media have attracted great attention in a variety of fields, especially in the oil and gas industry. A wide range of research studies have been conducted on the characterization of porous media covers and multiphase flow therein. Reliable approaches for characterizing microstructure and multiphase flow in porous media are crucial in many fields, including the characterization of residual water or oil in hydrocarbon reservoirs and the long-term storage of supercritical CO2 in geological formations. This book gathers together 15 recent works to emphasize fundamental innovations in the field and novel applications of petrophysics in unconventional reservoirs, including experimental studies, numerical modeling (fractal approach), and multiphase flow modeling/simulations. The relevant stakeholders of this book are authorities and service companies working in the petroleum, subsurface water resources, air and water pollution, environmental, and biomaterial sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory and Application of Multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Methods presents a comprehensive review of all popular multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Methods developed thus far and is aimed at researchers and practitioners within relevant Earth Science disciplines as well as Petroleum, Chemical, Mechanical and Geological Engineering. Clearly structured throughout, this book will be an invaluable reference on the current state of all popular multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBMs). The advantages and disadvantages of each model are presented in an accessible manner to enable the reader to choose the model most suitable for the problems they are interested in. The book is targeted at graduate students and researchers who plan to investigate multiphase flows using LBMs. Throughout the text most of the popular multiphase LBMs are analyzed both theoretically and through numerical simulation. The authors present many of the mathematical derivations of the models in greater detail than is currently found in the existing literature. The approach to understanding and classifying the various models is principally based on simulation compared against analytical and observational results and discovery of undesirable terms in the derived macroscopic equations and sometimes their correction. A repository of FORTRAN codes for multiphase LBM models is also provided.

Download or read book Pore Scale Modeling of Multiphase Flow in Heterogeneously Wet Media written by Rahul Verma (Ph. D. in petroleum engineering) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pore scale simulation has recently become an important tool for understanding multiphase flow behavior in porous materials. It enables detailed mechanistic studies of upscaled flow parameters such as capillary-pressure saturation curves, residual saturation of each phase, and relative permeability. However, direct modeling of multiphase flow given the complex solid surfaces in a porous medium is a non-trivial problem. In this work, we develop a new quasi-static, variational level set formulation capable of handling trapped phases as well as wettability. We extend our previous work [1, 2] for simple geometries, and develop a new parallelized code enabling application of the method in larger geometries. We compare our model results against several experimental and semi-analytical datasets. The model is first applied to both homogeneous and heterogeneously wet rhomboidal pores, and compared against semi-analytical solutions derived by Mason and Morrow [3]. Subsequently, we focus on a quasi-2D micromodel study of fluid-fluid displacement for different wettabilities, which is quantified using the displacement efficiency and fractal dimension of the displacement patterns [4]. We then study classic experiments by Haines [5] and Leverett [6] for measuring the capillary pressure and relative permeability curves in sphere packs and sandpacks, respectively. We match trends in trapping in sandpacks during drainage/imbibition experiments by Pentland et al. [7], and also compare it against predictions by several other pore-scale models. Finally, we confirm the pore-scale hypothesis suggested by DiCarlo et al. [8] for explaining experimental observations of three-phase relative permeability of the intermediate-wet phase in sandpack experiments. For these three-phase experiments, we propose an approximation based on finding phases trapped between constant curvature surfaces, using two-phase simulations. We demonstrate the versatility of our methods by applying it to these disparate experimental datasets, and suggest future applications of our work
