Pore-scale numerical simulation of supercritical CO2-brine two-phase flow based on VOF method
CO2 capture and storage technology is favorable for the reduction of CO2 emissions. In recent years, a great number of research achievements have been obtained on CO2 geological storage from nano scale to oil/gas reservoir scale, but most studies only ...

In Situ Deformation Analysis of a Fracture in Coal under Cyclic Loading and Unloading
The deformation analysis of fractures is vital for advantageous development of oil and gas fields, especially the coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir, since the change of fracture parameters can be directly evaluated through fracture deformation analysis ...

Optimization of Non-Uniform Perforation Parameters for Multi-Cluster Fracturing
Stress shadowing affects the simultaneous propagation of fractures from multiple perforation clusters. Employing uniform perforation parameters for all clusters cause the unbalanced growth of fractures, which arouses the demand of optimizing non-uniform ...

Quantification of non-linear multiphase flow in porous media [PDF]
AbstractWe measure the pressure difference during two‐phase flow across a sandstone sample for a range of injection rates and fractional flows of water, the wetting phase, during an imbibition experiment. We quantify the onset of a transition from a linear relationship between flow rate and pressure gradient to a nonlinear power‐law dependence. We show

Upscaling multi-component two-phase flow in porous media with partitioning coefficient [PDF]
This paper deals with the upscaling of multicomponents two-phase flow in porous media. In this paper, chemical potential equilibrium at the interface between both phases is assumed to be described by a linear partitioning relationship such as Raoult or ...

A two-pressure model for slightly compressible single phase flow in bi-structured porous media [PDF]
Problems involving flow in porous media are ubiquitous in many natural and engineered systems. Mathematical modeling of such systems often relies on homogenization of pore-scale equations and macroscale continuum descriptions.
