Parallel Simulations of Underground Flow in Porous and Fractured Media
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a parallel software for solving linear flow equations in two kinds of subsurface media, a 2D highly heterogeneous porous medium and a 3D fracture network. Parallel computing allows us to solve very large linear systems improving the realism of simulations. For these two applications, we perform a scalability analysis of two parallel solvers : HYPRE and PSPASES. HYPRE is a parallel iterative solver based on a V-cycle multi-grid algorithm. PSPASES is a parallel direct solver based on the Cholesky factorization.

Numerical Simulation of Fluid-Solid Coupling in Fractured Porous Media with Discrete Fracture Model and Extended Finite Element Method
Fluid-solid coupling is ubiquitous in the process of fluid flow underground and has a significant influence on the development of oil and gas reservoirs. To investigate these phenomena, the coupled mathematical model of solid deformation and fluid flow in fractured porous media is established. In this study, the discrete fracture model (DFM) is applied to capture fluid flow in the fractured por...
متن کاملInvestigation of Underground Gas Storage in a Partially Depleted Naturally Fractured Gas Reservoir
In this work, studies of underground gas storage (UGS) were performed on a partially depleted, naturally fractured gas reservoir through compositional simulation. Reservoir dynamic model was calibrated by history matching of about 20 years of researvoir production. Effects of fracture parameters, i.e. fracture shape factor, fracture permeability and porosity were studied. Results show...
متن کاملEstimating Liquid Fluxes in Thermally Perturbed Fractured Rock Using Measured Temperature Profiles
A new temperature-profile method was recently developed for analyzing perturbed flow conditions in superheated porous media. The method uses high-resolution temperature data to estimate the magnitude of the heat-driven liquid and gas fluxes that form as a result of boiling, condensation, and recirculation of pore water. In this paper, we evaluate the applicability of this new method to the more...
متن کاملApplication of Homotopy Perturbation Method to Nonlinear Equations Describing Cocurrent and Countercurrent Imbibition in Fractured Porous Media
In oil industry, spontaneous imbibition is an important phenomenon in recovery from fractured reservoirs which can be defined as spontaneous uptake of a wetting fluid into a porous solid. Spontaneous imbibition involves both cocurrent and countercurrent flows. When a matrix block is partially covered by water, oil recovery is dominated by cocurrent imbibition i.e. the production of non wettin...
متن کاملA mixed-dimensional finite volume method for multiphase flow in fractured porous media
We present a vertex-centered finite volume method for the fully coupled, fully implicit discretization of two-phase flow in fractured porous media. Fractures are discretely modeled as lower dimensional elements. The method works on unstructured, locally refined grids and on parallel computers with distributed memory. An implicit time discretization is employed and the nonlinear systems of equat...
