Homogenization of two fluid flow in porous media
The macroscopic behaviour of air and water in porous media is often approximated using Richards' equation for the fluid saturation and pressure. This equation is parametrized by the hydraulic conductivity and water release curve. In this paper, we use homogenization to derive a general model for saturation and pressure in porous media based on an underlying periodic porous structure. Under an a...
متن کاملNumerical homogenization of two-phase flow in porous media
Homogenization has proved its effectiveness as a method of upscaling for linear problems, as they occur in single-phase porous media flow for arbitrary heterogeneous rocks. Here we extend the classical homogenization approach to nonlinear problems by considering incompressible, immiscible two-phase porous media flow. The extensions have been based on the principle of preservation of form, stati...
متن کاملRandom Porous Media Flow on Large 3-d Grids: Numerics, Performance, & Application to Homogenization
Subsurface ow processes are inherently three-dimensional and heterogeneous over many scales. Taking this into account, for instance assuming random heterogeneity in 3-D space, puts heavy constraints on numerical models. An e cient numerical code has been developed for solving the porous media ow equations, appropriately generalized to account for 3-D, random-like heterogeneity. The code is base...
متن کاملAdaptive finite element simulation of Stokes flow in porous media
The Stokes problem describes flow of an incompressible constant-viscosity fluid when the Reynolds number is small so that inertial and transient-time effects are negligible. The numerical solution of the Stokes problem requires special care, since classical finite element discretization schemes, such as piecewise linear interpolation for both the velocity and the pressure, fail to perform. Even...
متن کاملLecture 2 Homogenization in Porous Media
The goal of this lecture is to show that homogenization is a very efficient tool in the modeling of complex phenomena in heterogeneous media. In the first lecture we considered a model problem of diffusion for which the homogenized operator was of the same type (still a diffusion equation). In this context, homogenization is really a matter of defining and computing effective diffusion tensors....
