Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2020 The present work proposes a new model to capture high heterogeneity of single phase flow in naturally fractured vuggy reservoirs. The model considers a three porous media reservoir; namely, fractured system, vugular system and matrix; the case of an ...

Oil emulsions in naturally fractured Porous Media
Petroleum, 2019 Most of the studies regarding the formation and stability of emulsions focus on the conditioning and management of crude oil on surface facilities. Since a great deal of the crude oil produced is in the form of stable emulsions, it is often claimed that ...

A Darcy–Brinkman model of fractures in porous media
Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 2017 For a fully-coupled Darcy-Stokes system describing the exchange of fluid and stress balance across the interface between a saturated porous medium and an open very narrow channel, the limiting problem is characterized as the width of the channel converges to zero. It is proven that the limit problem is a fully-coupled system of Darcy flow in the porous

Dual Virtual Element Methods for Discrete Fracture Matrix models
Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2019 The accurate description of fluid flow and transport in fractured porous media is of paramount importance to capture the macroscopic behavior of an oil reservoir, a geothermal system, or a CO2 sequestration site, to name few applications.

A Coupled Darcy-Forchheimer Flow Model in Fractured Porous Media
Applied Sciences, 2022 Aiming at nonlinear flow in fractured porous media, based on the finite volume method, the discrete equations of Darcy flow in porous and Forchheimer flow in fracture were derived, and a solution method for coupling flow is proposed. The flow solution by

Numerical Methods for Flow in Fractured Porous Media [PDF]
, 2020 In this work we present the mathematical models for single-phase flow in fractured porous media. An overview of the most common approaches is considered, which includes continuous fracture models and discrete fracture models. For the latter, we discuss strategies that are developed in literature for its numerical solution mainly related to the ...
