is an open access repository that collects the work of Arts et Métiers ParisTech researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. f a b s t r a c t We present a simple numerical method to simulate the interaction of two non-miscible compressible materials separated by an interface. The media considered may have significantly different physical properties and constitutive l...

Core flooding experiments were conducted with the objective of evaluating near miscible surfactant alternating CO2 injection and the effect of surfactant concentrations on gas-oil and water displacements in porous media. The core samples were provided from a low permeability mixed wet oil reservoir at 156 °F and 1900 psia. In addition, very few studies of surfactant adsorption on car...

The design and optimization of nanostructure-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) gas sensor is analyzed based on TiO2 sensing layer and modified electrode dimensions. The sensitivity of the gas sensor depends upon the type of sensing layer used and active surface area obtained by varying the aspect ratio. The performance of the sensor is observed from 0.1ppm to 100ppm concentration of ...

The effect on the transport properties of fractures of a relative shear displacement ~u of rough walls with complementary self-affine surfaces has been studied experimentally and numerically. The shear displacement ~u induces an anisotropy of the aperture field with a correlation length scaling as u and significantly larger in the direction perpendicular to ~u. This reflects the appearance of l...

Carbon dioxide storage combined with enhanced oil recovery (CCS-EOR) is an important approach for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We use pore-scale imaging to help understand CO2 and during CCS-EOR at immiscible near-miscible injection conditions. study in situ flooding oil-wet reservoir rock elevated temperature pressure using X-ray micro-tomography. observe the predicted, but hitherto unre...
