Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This RiMG (Reviews in Mineralogy & Geochemistry) volume includes contributions that review experimental, characterization, and modeling advances in our understanding of pore-scale geochemical processes. The volume had its origins in a special theme session at the 2015 Goldschmidt Conference in Prague. From a diversity of pore-scale topics that ranged from multi-scale characterization to modeling, this work summarizes the state-of-the-science in this subject. Topics include: modification of thermodynamics and kinetics in small pores. chemo-mechanical processes and how they affect porosity evolution in geological media. small angle neutron scattering (SANS) techniques. how isotopic gradients across fluid–mineral boundaries can develop and how these provide insight into pore-scale processes. Information on an important class of models referred to as "pore network" and much more. The material in this book is accessible for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in the earth, material, environmental, hydrological, and biological sciences. The pore scale is readily recognizable to geochemists, and yet in the past it has not received a great deal of attention as a distinct scale or environment that is associated with its own set of questions and challenges. Is the pore scale merely an environment in which smaller scale (molecular) processes aggregate, or are there emergent phenomena unique to this scale? Is it simply a finer-grained version of the "continuum" scale that is addressed in larger-scale models and interpretations? The scale is important because it accounts for the pore architecture within which such diverse processes as multi-mineral reaction networks, microbial community interaction, and transport play out, giving rise to new geochemical behavior that might not be understood or predicted by considering smaller or larger scales alone.

Download or read book Pore scale Analysis of Grain Shape and Sorting Effect on Fluid Transport Phenomena in Porous Media written by Tatyana Sergeevna Torskaya and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Macroscopic transport properties of porous media depend on textural rock parameters such as porosity, grain size and grain shape distributions, surface-to-volume ratios, and spatial distributions of cement. Although porosity is routinely measured in the laboratory, direct measurements of other textural rock properties can be tedious, time-consuming, or impossible to obtain without special methods such as X-ray microtomography and scanning electron microscopy. However, by using digital three-dimensional pore-scale rock models and physics-based algorithms researchers can calculate both geometrical and transport properties of porous media. Therefore, pore-scale modeling techniques provide a unique opportunity to explore explicit relationships between pore-scale geometry and fluid and electric flow properties. The primary objective of this dissertation is to investigate at the pore-scale level the effects of grain shapes and spatial cement distribution on macroscopic rock properties for improved understanding of various petrophysical correlations. Deposition and compaction of grains having arbitrary angular shapes and various sizes is modeled using novel sedimentation and cementation pore-scale algorithms. Additionally, the algorithms implement numerical quartz precipitation to describe preferential cement growth in pore-throats, pore-bodies, or uniform layers. Subsequently, petrophysical properties such as geometrical pore-size distribution, primary drainage capillary pressure, absolute permeability, streamline-based throat size distribution, and apparent electrical formation factor are calculated for several digital rock models to evaluate petrophysical correlations. Furthermore, two geometrical approximation methods are introduced to model irreducible (connate) water saturation at the pore scale. Consolidated grain packs having comparable porosities and grain size distributions but various grain shapes indicate that realistic angular grain shape distribution gives the best agreement of petrophysical properties with experimental measurements. Cement volume and its spatial distribution significantly affect pore-space geometry and connectivity, and subsequently, macroscopic petrophysical properties of the porous media. For example, low-porosity rocks having similar grain structure but different cement spatial distribution could differ in absolute permeability by two orders of magnitude and in capillary trapped water saturation by a factor of three. For clastic rocks with porosity much higher than percolation threshold porosity, pore-scale modeling results confirm that surface-to-volume ratio and porosity provide sufficient rock-structure character to describe absolute permeability correlations. In comparison to surface-to-volume ratio, capillary trapped (irreducible) water saturation exhibits better correlation with absolute permeability due to weak pore space connectivity in low-porosity samples near the percolation threshold. Furthermore, in grain packs with fine laminations and permeability anisotropy, pore-scale analysis reveals anisotropy in directional drainage capillary- pressure curves and corresponding amounts of capillary-trapped wetting fluid. Finally, results presented in this dissertation indicate that pore-scale modeling methods can competently capture the effects of porous media geometry on macroscopic rock properties. Pore-scale two- and three-phase transport calculations with fast computers can predict petrophysical properties and provide sensitivity analysis of petrophysical properties for accurate reservoir characterization and subsequent field development planning.
Download or read book Advances in Transport Phenomena in Porous Media written by Jacob Bear and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1018 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the lectures presented at the NATO ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE that took place at Newark, Delaware, U. S. A. , July 14-23, 1985. The objective of this meeting was to present and discuss selected topics associated with transport phenomena in porous media. By their very nature, porous media and phenomena of transport of extensive quantities that take place in them, are very complex. The solid matrix may be rigid, or deformable (elastically, or following some other constitutive relation), the void space may be occupied by one or more fluid phases. Each fluid phase may be composed of more than one component, with the various components capable of interacting among themselves and/or with the solid matrix. The transport process may be isothermal or non-isothermal, with or without phase changes. Porous medium domains in which extensive quantities, such as mass of a fluid phase, component of a fluid phase, or heat of the porous medium as a whole, are being transported occur in the practice in a variety of disciplines.
Download or read book Shock Phenomena in Granular and Porous Materials written by Tracy J. Vogler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Granular forms of common materials such as metals and ceramics, sands and soils, porous energetic materials (explosives, reactive mixtures), and foams exhibit interesting behaviors due to their heterogeneity and critical length scale, typically commensurate with the grain or pore size. Under extreme conditions of impact, granular and porous materials display highly localized phenomena such as fracture, inelastic deformation, and the closure of voids, which in turn strongly influence the bulk response. Due to the complex nature of these interactions and the short time scales involved, computational methods have proven to be powerful tools to investigate these phenomena. Thus, the coupled use of experiment, theory, and simulation is critical to advancing our understanding of shock processes in initially porous and granular materials. This is a comprehensive volume on granular and porous materials for researchers working in the area of shock and impact physics. The book is divided into three sections, where the first presents the fundamentals of shock physics as it pertains to the equation of state, compaction, and strength properties of porous materials. Building on these fundamentals, the next section examines several applications where dynamic processes involving initially porous materials are prevalent, focusing on the areas of penetration, planetary impact, and reactive munitions. The final section provides a look at emerging areas in the field, where the expansion of experimental and computational capabilities are opening the door for new opportunities in the areas of advanced light sources, molecular dynamics modeling, and additively manufactured porous structures. By intermixing experiment, theory, and simulation throughout, this book serves as an excellent, up-to-date desk reference for those in the field of shock compression science of porous and granular materials.

Download or read book Small Scale Laboratory Studies of Flow and Transport Phenomena in Pores and Fractures Phase 2 Technical Completion Report written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pore level laboratory experiments using microscopy permit the in situ visualization of flow and transport phenomena, that can be recorded on film or videotape. One of the principal tools for visualization is the etched glass micromodel, which is composed of a transparent two dimensional network of three dimensional pores. The spatial scale of interest in these models extends from the individual pore, up to a network of pores, perhaps with small scale heterogeneities. Micromodels are best used to help validate concepts and assumptions, and to elucidate new, previously unrecognized phenomena for further study. They are not quantitative tools, but should be used in combination with quantitative tools such as column studies or mathematical models. There are three applications: multi-phase flow, colloid transport, and bacterial transport and colonization. Specifically the authors have examined behavior of relevance to liquid-liquid mass transfer (solubilization of capillary trapped organic liquids); liquid-gas mass transfer (in situ volatilization); mathematical models of multi-phase pressure-saturation relationships; colloid movement, attachment and detachment in the presence of fluid-fluid interfaces, clay interference with multi-phase flow; and heterogeneity effects on multi-phase flow and colloid movement.
Download or read book Modeling Transport Phenomena in Porous Media with Applications written by Malay K. Das and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an ensemble of six major chapters, an introduction, and a closure on modeling transport phenomena in porous media with applications. Two of the six chapters explain the underlying theories, whereas the rest focus on new applications. Porous media transport is essentially a multi-scale process. Accordingly, the related theory described in the second and third chapters covers both continuum‐ and meso‐scale phenomena. Examining the continuum formulation imparts rigor to the empirical porous media models, while the mesoscopic model focuses on the physical processes within the pores. Porous media models are discussed in the context of a few important engineering applications. These include biomedical problems, gas hydrate reservoirs, regenerators, and fuel cells. The discussion reveals the strengths and weaknesses of existing models as well as future research directions.
