The present paper investigates the influence of stabilization with cement, peat ash, and silica sand on permeability coefficient (kv) of compacted clay, using a novel approach to stabilize the clay with peat ash as a supplementary material of cement in the compacted and stabilized soil. In order to assess the mentioned influence, test specimens of both untreated and stabilized soil have been te...

the volumetric changes in the coal matrix (coal shrinkage), permeability under various gas environment conditions as well as perographical properties were studied in the laboratory. the shrinkage and permeability of coal were examined with respect to changing gas type and confining pressures. the shrinkage tests were carried out in high-pressure bombs while the permeability study was conducted ...

In this paper, a case study is used to demonstrate a straightforward methodology of faults, fractures and highpermeability layers integration in a single porosity single permeability (SPSP) reservoir simulation model. The application of this method in the Ghawar Arab-D reservoir indicated an adequate modeling of the water encroachment pattern. The described methodology starts with the identific...

Abstract Gamtoos Basin is an echelon sub-basin under the Outeniqua offshore of South Africa. It a complex rift-type basin with both onshore and components consists relatively simple half-grabens bounded by major fault to northeast. This study mainly focused on evaluation reservoir heterogeneity Valanginian depositional sequence. The prime objective this work generate 3D static model for better ...

Conventional electronics based on silicon, germanium, or compounds of gallium require prohibitively expensive investments. A state-of-the-art microprocessor fabrication facility can cost up to $15 billion while using environmentally hazardous processes. In that context, the discovery of solution-processable conducting (and semiconducting) polymers stirred up expectations of ubiquitous electroni...

In this talk we discuss the use of domain decomposition parallel iterative solvers for highly heterogeneous problems of flow in porous media, in both the deterministic and (Monte-Carlo simulated) stochastic cases. We are particularly interested in the case of highly unstructured coefficient variation where standard periodic or stochastic homogenisation theory is not applicable, and where there ...

In this paper, we perform a systematic multiscale analysis for convection dominated transport equations with a weak diffusion and a highly oscillatory velocity field. The paper primarily focuses on upscaling linear transport equations. But we also discuss briefly how to upscale two-phase miscible flows, in which case the concentration equation is coupled to the pressure equation in a nonlinear ...
