A Coupled Novel Green Element and Embedded Discrete Fracture Model for Simulation of Fluid Flow in Fractured Reservoir

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
In this study, we present a hybrid model coupled with two-set nodes Green element method (GEM) and embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) for capturing the effect of transient flow in inhomogeneous fractured porous media.

Thermodynamically consistent modeling of two-phase incompressible flows in heterogeneous and fractured media

open access: yesOil & Gas Science and Technology, 2020
Numerical modeling of two-phase flows in heterogeneous and fractured media is of great interest in petroleum reservoir engineering. The classical model for two-phase flows in porous media is not completely thermodynamically consistent since the energy ...

Fluid Flow in Fractured Porous Media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The fluid flow in fracture porous media plays a significant role in the assessment of deep underground reservoirs, such as through CO2 sequestration, enhanced oil recovery, and geothermal energy development. Many methods have been employed—from laboratory experimentation to theoretical analysis and numerical simulations—and allowed for many useful ...

Robust Discretization of Flow in Fractured Porous Media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Flow in fractured porous media represents a challenge for discretization methods due to the disparate scales and complex geometry. Herein we propose a new discretization, based on the mixed finite element method and mortar methods.

Statistical characteristics of flow as indicators of channeling in heterogeneous porous and fractured media [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
International audienceWe introduce two new channeling indicators Dic and Dcc based on the Lagrangian distribution of flow rates. On the basis of the participation ratio, these indicators characterize the extremes of both the flow-tube width distribution ...

Fractal model and Lattice Boltzmann Method for Characterization of Non-Darcy Flow in Rough Fractures. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The irregular morphology of single rock fracture significantly influences subsurface fluid flow and gives rise to a complex and unsteady flow state that typically cannot be appropriately described using simple laws.

Thermally activated fracture of porous media

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal B, 2011
The lifetime of a porous media, submitted to a constant subcritical stress, is studied by means of a numerical model. This model is based on a spring network where the porosity is represented by missing springs. The dynamics is produced adding thermal fluctuations in spring forces.
