The consolidation of clay layers is great significance for groundwater environmental protection, storage utilization, and land subsidence. In this study, the governing equation excess pore water pressure during non-linear process under load conditions obtained based on one-dimensional theory. Analytical solutions are then derived with single or double drainage caused by dissipation pressure. Wi...

withdrawal of oil and gas from reservoirs causes a decrease in pore pressure and an increase in effective stress which results to a reservoir compaction. reservoir compaction will result in surface subsidence through the elastic response of the subsurface. usually in order to determine the subsidence above a hydrocarbon field, the reservoir compaction must be first calculated and then the effec...

bioaerosols are the most significant risk for exposed people leads to infectious diseases. this study was aimed at evaluation of physical and microscopic characteristics and submicron particulate filtration efficiency of surgical masks used in hospitals throughout iran. five types of domestic (zist filter, elhamteb and arman masks) and imported (blosom, face masks) surgical masks were tested se...

Cnoidal wave theory perfectly describes nearshore characteristics. However, cnoidal is not widely applied in practical engineering because the formula for profile involves a complex Jacobian elliptic function. In this paper, approximate presented. Based on Biot consolidation and theory, an analytical solution pore water pressure around buried pipelines caused by waves derived. addition, based p...

A novel approach of simulating hydromechanical coupling in pore-scale models of porous media is presented in this paper. Parameters of the sandstone samples, such as the stress-strain curve, Poisson's ratio, and permeability under different pore pressure and confining pressure, are tested in laboratory scale. The micro-CT scanner is employed to scan the samples for three-dimensional images, as ...

[1] The one-dimensional model of Rudnicki and Chen [1988] for a slip-weakening dilating fault is extended to include shear heating. Because inertia is not included, instability (a seismic event) corresponds to an unbounded slip rate. Shear heating tends to increase pore pressure and decrease the effective compressive stress and the resistance to slip and consequently tends to promote instabilit...

A network model that investigates electrical resistivity and capillary pressure curves of oil/water/rock systems for a full̄ooded cycle (primary drainage, imbibition and secondary drainage) is presented. This model uses a realistic pore geometry in the form of a grain boundary pore (GBP) shape and pore constrictions. The model also incorporates pore-scale displacement mechanisms and pore-scale w...

Osmotic water flow through membranes with uniform defined pores was measured for a variety of macromolecular solutes. Water flow increased linearly with applied hydrostatic pressure, allowing the effective osmotic pressure of the solutes to be estimated by extrapolation. Reflection coefficients for each solute-membrane combination were calculated and correlated with the ratio of solute size to ...
