Random Walk Algorithms for Estimating Effective Properties of Digitized Porous Media

چکیده
s — In this paper we describe a Monte Carlo method for permeability calculations in complex digitized porous structures. The relation between the permeability and the diffusion penetration depth is established. The corresponding Dirichlet boundary value problem is solved by random walk algorithms. The results of computational experiments for some random models of porous media confirm the log-normality hypothesis for the permeability distribution.

Random walk calculations for bacterial migration in porous media.
Bacterial migration is important in understanding many practical problems ranging from disease pathogenesis to the bioremediation of hazardous waste in the environment. Our laboratory has been successful in quantifying bacterial migration in fluid media through experiment and the use of population balance equations and cellular level simulations that incorporate parameters based on a fundamenta...
متن کاملEstimate the Effective Elastic Properties of Digitized Porous Rocks by Inverting the Cracks Unresolved
Current imaging technique such as micro X-ray CT can provide us detailed 3D micro-structures of porous rocks that can be used in numerical simulation so as to predict elastic properties of rocks saturated with different fluids. However, limited by the resolution the imaging process can provide, we usually lose the small features of rocks such as cracks and micro-pores, consequences of which can...
متن کاملRandom-walk simulation of transport in heterogeneous porous media: Local mass-conservation problem and implementation methods
The random-walk method for simulating solute transport in porous media is typically based on the assumption that the velocity and velocity-dependent dispersion tensor vary smoothly in space. However, in cases where sharp interfaces separate materials with contrasting hydraulic properties, these quantities may be discontinuous. Normally, velocities are interpolated to arbitrary particle location...

In this study, drying process is modeled in porous media using random walk theory. In this line, first the effect of microscopic quantities derived from random walk theory has been studied on drying rate. Then, the relationship between drying rate and moisture content is obtained taking convection into account. The results obtained in this study indicates the effect of convection on the process...
متن کاملTransport Property Estimation of Non-Uniform Porous Media
In this work a glass micromodel which its grains and pores are non-uniform in size, shape and distribution is considered as porous medium. A two-dimensional random network model of micromodel with non-uniform pores has been constructed. The non-uniformity of porous model is achieved by assigning parametric distribution functions to pores throat and pores length, which was measured using ima...
