Flow control of fluids through porous media
This paper discusses flow control of fluids through porous media, specifically related to its application in petroleum science. The flow of fluids is described by the Boussinesq equation with mixed boundary conditions; a Neumann boundary condition describes no flow at the outer boundary of the porous media and a nonlinear boundary condition describes the interaction between the porous media and...
متن کاملFrom Capillary Fingering to Viscous Flow in Two-Dimensional Porous Media: Role of the Wetting Properties
Microfluidics device are used to study the drainage of a wetting fluid by a non-wetting one in porous media. Both the geometry and the wetting properties are accurately controlled and allow to obtain quantitative measurements of the features of the capillary fingering occuring during the invasion as a function of the imposed flow rate. In partial wetting systems, a quantitative agreement is fou...
متن کاملDomain growth, wetting, and scaling in porous media.
The lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is used to study the kinetics of domain growth of a binary fluid in a number of geometries modeling porous media. Unlike the traditional methods which solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation, the LB method correctly simulates fluid properties, phase segregation, interface dynamics and wetting. Our results, based on lattice sizes of up to 4096× 4096, do not show eviden...
متن کاملImpact of structured heterogeneities on reactive two-phase porous flow.
Two-phase flow through heterogeneous media leads to scale-free distributions of irregularly shaped pockets of one fluid trapped within the other. Although reactions within these fluids are often modeled at the homogeneous continuum scale, there exists no current framework for upscaling from the pore scale that accounts for the complex and scale-free geometry of the bubbles. In this paper, we ap...
متن کاملCoupling Fluid Flow with Porous Media Flow
The transport of substances back and forth between surface water and groundwater is a very serious problem. We study herein the mathematical model of this setting consisting of the Stokes equations in the fluid region coupled with the Darcy equations in the porous medium, coupled across the interface by the Beavers–Joseph–Saffman conditions. We prove existence of weak solutions and give a compl...
