Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the transient flow behavior of non-Newtonian fluids in petroleum reservoirs has been made. A new partial differential equation has been derived. The diffusivity equation is a special case of this new equation. The new partial differential equation describes the flow of a slightly compressible, non-Newtonian, power-law fluid in a homogeneous porous medium. This equation should govern the flow of most non-Newtonian oil displacement agents used in secondary and tertiary oil recovery projects, e.g., polymer solutions, micellar solutions, and foams. Analytical solutions of the new partial differential equation were obtained. The solutions permit new methods of well test analysis for non-Newtonian fluids. An example of the use of the new techniques to analyze injection well-test data in a polymer injection project is presented. Graphs of the dimensionless pressure function are also presented. These may be used to investigate the error in using Newtonian fluid flow equations to model the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media.

Download or read book Theoretical Studies of Non Newtonian and Newtonian Fluid Flowthrough Porous Media written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive theoretical study has been carried out on the flow behavior of both single and multiple phase non-Newtonian fluids in porous media. This work is divided into three parts: (1) development of numerical and analytical solutions; (2) theoretical studies of transient flow of non-Newtonian fluids in porous media; and (3) applications of well test analysis and displacement efficiency evaluation to field problems. A fully implicit, integral finite difference model has been developed for simulation of non-Newtonian and Newtonian fluid flow through porous media. Several commonly-used rheological models of power-law and Bingham plastic non-Newtonian fluids have been incorporated in the simulator. A Buckley-Leverett type analytical solution for one-dimensional, immiscible displacement involving non-Newtonian fluids in porous media has been developed. Based on this solution, a graphic approach for evaluating non-Newtonian displacement efficiency has been developed. The Buckley-Leverett-Welge theory is extended to flow problems with non-Newtonian fluids. An integral method is also presented for the study of transient flow of Bingham fluids in porous media. In addition, two well test analysis methods have been developed for analyzing pressure transient tests of power-law and Bingham fluids, respectively. Applications are included to demonstrate this new technology. The physical mechanisms involved in immiscible displacement with non-Newtonian fluids in porous media have been studied using the Buckley-Leverett type analytical solution. The results show that this kind of displacement is a complicated process and is determined by the rheological properties of the non-Newtonian fluids and the flow conditions, in addition to relative permeability data. In another study, an idealized fracture model has been used to obtain some insights into the flow of a power-law fluid in a double-porosity medium. For flow at a constant rate, non-Newtonian flow behavior in a fractured medium is characterized by two-parallel straight lines on a log-log plot of injection pressure versus time. Transient flow of a general pseudoplastic fluid has been studied numerically and it has been found that the long time pressure responses tend to be equivalent to that of a Newtonian system.

Download or read book FEFLOW written by Hans-Jörg G. Diersch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 1018 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FEFLOW is an acronym of Finite Element subsurface FLOW simulation system and solves the governing flow, mass and heat transport equations in porous and fractured media by a multidimensional finite element method for complex geometric and parametric situations including variable fluid density, variable saturation, free surface(s), multispecies reaction kinetics, non-isothermal flow and multidiffusive effects. FEFLOW comprises theoretical work, modeling experiences and simulation practice from a period of about 40 years. In this light, the main objective of the present book is to share this achieved level of modeling with all required details of the physical and numerical background with the reader. The book is intended to put advanced theoretical and numerical methods into the hands of modeling practitioners and scientists. It starts with a more general theory for all relevant flow and transport phenomena on the basis of the continuum approach, systematically develops the basic framework for important classes of problems (e.g., multiphase/multispecies non-isothermal flow and transport phenomena, discrete features, aquifer-averaged equations, geothermal processes), introduces finite-element techniques for solving the basic balance equations, in detail discusses advanced numerical algorithms for the resulting nonlinear and linear problems and completes with a number of benchmarks, applications and exercises to illustrate the different types of problems and ways to tackle them successfully (e.g., flow and seepage problems, unsaturated-saturated flow, advective-diffusion transport, saltwater intrusion, geothermal and thermohaline flow).
