In this work the likelihood of asphaltene deposition problems during dynamic displacement of oil by natural gas in unconsolidated porous media is experimentally inspected. The two different rock materials, limestone and sandstone, are used as a representative of porous media. Dynamic flow experiments indicate that the increase of natural gas injection inc...

External pressures applied to a saturated pavement pore structure are often dynamic due to the repeated tire loading. Therefore, a dynamic permeability constant is more realistic representation of the response of a pavement pore structure than the Darcy’s permeability. To investigate the unsteady (dynamic) fluid flow in asphalt pavements, a 3D fluid flow model was developed using the lattice Bo...

The propagation of borehole Stoneley waves is strongly correlated with permeability of the formation. Previous studies primarily focused on the situation where the permeability is homogeneously distributed in the formation. In many in-situ situations, however, the permeability distribution of the formation is heterogeneous, due to effects such as a damaged zone around the borehole, random varia...

[1] We report on laboratory experiments designed to investigate the influence of pore pressure oscillations on the effective permeability of fractured rock. Berea sandstone samples were fractured in situ under triaxial stresses of tens of megapascals, and deionized water was forced through the incipient fracture under conditions of steady and oscillating pore pressure. We find that short‐term p...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chordomas notoriously demonstrate a paucity of changes following radiation therapy on conventional MR imaging. We hypothesized that dynamic contrast-enhanced MR perfusion imaging parameters of chordomas would change significantly following radiation therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven patients with pathology-proved chordoma who completed dynamic contrast-enhanced MR p...

This paper presents a study of dynamic permeability of porous media combining homogenization of periodic media (HPM) and the self-consistent method (SCM). By taking advantage of the physical principles identified with HPM, the application of SCM leads to the determination of two physically admissible dynamic permeability assessments, both different from that given by the cell model. A compariso...
