A level set approach to Ostwald ripening of trapped gas bubbles in porous media

چکیده

Abstract Ostwald ripening of gas bubbles is a thermodynamic process for mass transfer, which important both foam enhanced oil recovery and geological CO 2 storage. We present methodology simulating ganglia surrounded by liquid in arbitrary pore geometries. The method couples conservative level set model capillary-controlled displacement ghost-bubble technique that calculates transfer based on difference chemical potentials. implemented software framework parallel computations. As validation the model, we show simulations bubble throat connecting two bodies are consistent with previously reported trends similar Then investigate impact type, compressibility factor, local capillary pressure gas-bubble various water-wet results confirm solubility factor proportional to rate transfer. Our suggest has largest heterogeneous or fractured porous structures where differences potentials high. However, if separating also disconnected phase, can happen intermediate-wet media, resulting limit coarsening stabilise smaller bubbles. Finally, simulated 3-D pore-space image sandstone containing residual gas/water configuration after imbibition. Characterization morphology during shows large get more ramified at expense small spherical cease exist.

Ripening of porous media.

We address the surface-tension-driven dynamics of porous media in nearly saturated pore-space solutions. We linearize this dynamics in the reaction-limited regime near its fixed points--surfaces of constant mean curvature (CMC surfaces). We prove that the only stable interface for this dynamics is the plane and estimate the time scale for a CMC surface to become unstable. We also discuss the di...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

a frame semantic approach to the study of translating cultural scripts in salingers franny and zooey

the frame semantic theory is a nascent approach in the area of translation studies which goes beyond the linguistic barriers and helps us to incorporate cognitive and cultural factors to the study of translation. based on rojos analytical model (2002b), which centered in the frames or knowledge structures activated in the text, the present research explores the various translation problems that...

Homoepitaxial Ostwald ripening

This paper reports level set simulations of the Ostwald ripening of two-dimensional homoepitaxial islands. The simulation accurately accounts for both adatom diffusion between the islands and adatom attachment/detachment processes at the island edges. We compute the time evolution of the average island size and the full island size distribution function. The results provide support for a previo...
