Production strategy from a hydrocarbon reservoir plays an important role in optimal field development in the sense of maximizing oil recovery and economic profits. To this end, self-adapting optimization algorithms are necessary due to the great number of variables and the excessive time required for exhaustive simulation runs. Thus, this paper utilizes genetic algorithm (GA), and the objective...

purpose: to assess various aspects of integrating a virtual reality (vr) simulator in the training of ophthalmology residents methods: in this qualitative study, some aspects of the vr eyesi simulator as a health technology were assessed. data was collected using a multiple-choice questionnaire and several deep interviews addressed to users and administrators of simulator training. face and con...

Gas flooding has proven to be a promising method of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for mature water-flooding reservoirs. The determination optimal well control parameters is an essential step proper and economic development underground hydrocarbon resources using gas injection. Generally, the optimization in requires use compositional numerical simulation forecasting production dynamics, which com...

Fenix [1], [2] is the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) flight simulator based on 1-D transport code ASTRA coupled with 2-D equilibrium solver [3] SPIDER and Simulink (simulation platform integrated MATLAB). designed to simulate entire discharge from ramp up of poloidal field (PF) coils, through plasma phase, finishing down PF coils. Currently, controllers for position, shape, fuelling heating are implemente...

The main purpose of this investigation is to study the effect of near miscible CO2 injection in different porous mediums on both lab and field scales. This effect can be traced by the change of two-phase gas-oil relative permeability curves. In this work, the experiments have been performed on three rock types (i.e. sandstone, dolomite, and artificial fractured sandstone) based on an incrementa...

In this paper, we used a self-developed anisotropic cubic core holder to test relative permeability by the unsteady-states method, and introduced traditional numerical simulator. The oil–water two-phase governing equation considering is established, difference discretization carried out. We formed new simulation method. It clear that in heterogeneous rock with millimeter centimeter scale lamina...

The study of interactions of jet into cross flow at different longitudinal and transverse angles of jet was studied. The following components were designed and constructed: a low velocity wind tunnel to produce the uniform flow, a flat plate with a traverse injection system to simulate the jet injection, and a spatial rake to measure the total pressure. The tests were carried out at longitudina...

This work presents a software and hardware framework for a telerobotic surgery safety and motor skill training simulator. The aims are at providing trainees a comprehensive simulator for acquiring essential skills to perform telerobotic surgery. Existing commercial robotic surgery simulators lack features for safety training and optimal motion planning, which are critical factors in ensuring pa...

This paper addresses the problem of the validation of fault tolerance mechanisms during the design of fault-tolerant computing systems. It presents an integrated environment for applying fault injection into simulation models encompassing various levels of abstraction. First, the expected benefits of the approach are clearly identified in relation to other fault injection methods available. The...
