Transient Fluid Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media
A stable Alternating Direction Implicit finite-difference algorithm is used to model transient fiuid flow in heterogeneous porous media. In connection with the laboratory system for pressure transient testing of core permeability, the effects of permeability heterogeneities on the characteristics of the pressure transient were investigated. The results show that the early portion of the pressur...
متن کاملElectrokinetic coupling in unsaturated porous media.
We consider a charged porous material that is saturated by two fluid phases that are immiscible and continuous on the scale of a representative elementary volume. The wetting phase for the grains is water and the nonwetting phase is assumed to be an electrically insulating viscous fluid. We use a volume-averaging approach to derive the linear constitutive equations for the electrical current de...
متن کاملCapillary Pressure Driven Water Movement in Wet Unsaturated Porous Media: Effect of Particle Electric Charge
Experimentos do fluxo da água usando um meio poroso não saturado compoto por diferentes sistemas de aalumina molhada não-saturada indicam que a carga superficial da partícula diminuiu com o aumento da água movimentada. O movimento máximo de água ocorreu quando a carga superficial era zero. O movimento da água foi afetado pela espessura da dupla camada elétrica no pH em que as partículas têm car...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of unsaturated porous media.
We explore a mean-field theory of fluid imbibition and drainage through permeable porous solids. In the limit of vanishing inertial and viscous forces, the theory predicts the hysteretic "retention curves" relating the capillary pressure applied across a connected domain to its degree of saturation in wetting fluid in terms of known surface energies and void space geometry. To avoid complicated...
متن کاملAn analytical solution for transient radial flow through unsaturated fractured porous media
[1] This paper presents analytical solutions for one-dimensional radial transient flow through a horizontal, unsaturated fractured rock formation. In these solutions, unsaturated flow through fractured media is described by a linearized Richards’ equation, while fracture-matrix interaction is handled using the dual-continuum concept. Although linearizing Richards’ equation requires a specially ...
