چکیده

We consider a multirate iterative scheme for the quasi-static Biot equations modelling the coupled flow and geomechanics in a porous medium. The iterative scheme is based on undrained splitting where the flow and mechanics equations are decoupled with the mechanics solve followed by the pressure solve. The multirate scheme proposed here uses different time steps for the two equations, that is, uses q flow steps for each coarse mechanics step and may be interpreted as using a regularization parameter for the mechanics equation. We prove the convergence of the scheme and the proof reveals the appropriate regularization parameter and also the effect of the number of flow steps within coarse mechanics step on the convergence rate.

A coupled fluid–solid model for problems in geomechanics: Application to sand production

Some of the most challenging problems in geomechanics involve the coupling between fluid flow and solid deformation. In this paper we briefly present an overview of existing coupling methods to problems involving fluid flow and deformation and describe testing of a new discrete-based coupling method for problems in porous media. Modeled permeability and porosity distributions are compared to id...

A Comparison of Techniques for Coupling Porous Flow and Geomechanics

This paper compares three techniques for coupling multiphase porous flow and geomechanics. Sample simulations are presented to highlight the similarities and differences in the techniques. One technique uses an explicit algorithm to couple porous flow and displacements in which flow calculations are performed every timestep and displacements are calculated only during selected timesteps. A seco...

Heat Transfer Characteristics of Porous Radiant Burners Using Discrete-Ordinate Method (S2-Approximation)

This paper describes a theoretical study to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of porous radiant burners. A one dimensional model is used to solve the governing equations for porous medium and gas flow before the premixed flame to the exhaust gas. Combustion in the porous medium is modeled as a spatially dependent heat generation zone. The homogeneous porous media, in addition to its...
