Objective
Partners in this project developed a digital network simulator capable of predicting immiscible two-phase flow and displacement in porous media. The research accounted for the medium's structural features and the physico-chemical properties of the flowing fluids. The tool also simulates the diffusion of gases - bulk, Knudsen and transition modes - in a given porous medium.
EXPERIMENTAL METHODS ARE TO BE DEVELOPED TO CHARACTERIZE INDUSTRIAL POROUS MEDIA AND TO OBTAIN PARAMETERS NEEDED FOR CONSTRUCTING GEOMETRICAL NETWORK MODELS.
THESE PARAMETERS ARE TO BE USED IN DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTERAIDED SIMULATOR CAPABLE OF PREDICTING THE INITIAL DRAINAGE CURVE, AS WELL AS THE FIRST IMBIBITION AND SECOND DRAINAGE CURVES OBTAINED FROM MERCURY POROSITY DATA. IN ADDITION THIS SIMULATOR IS TO BE A BASIC TOOL IN SOLVING THE INVERSE PROBLEM: DETERMINATION OF THROAT SIZE DISTRIBUTION THAT GIVES THE BEST FIT TO THE MERCURY POROSITY DATA.
EXTENSIONS OF EXISTING AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MATHEMATICAL MODELS ARE TO BE CARRIED OUT TO SIMULATE BASIC PORE LEVEL EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC POROUS MEDIA.
PORE SCALE FLOW AND DIFFUSION EXPERIMENTS TO DETERMINE THE BASIC MECHANISMS GOVERNING MULTIPHASE FLOW AND DIFFUSION THROUGH POROUS MEDIA ARE TO BE UNDERTAKEN. THE RESULTS OF THESE EXPERIMENTS ARE TO BE COMPARED WITH MODEL PREDICTIONS.
BASED ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED WORK A GENERAL THEORETICAL NETWORK MODEL OF THE PORE STRUCTURE OF POROUS MEDIA IS TO BE DEVELOPED. THE MODEL IS TO INCLUDE THE CONVERGING-DIVERGING GEOMETRY OF THE PORES, THE RANDOM CHAMBER SIZE AND THROAT SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS, PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POROSITY, THE RANGE OF THE CHAMBER TO THROAT COORDINATION NUMBERS, THE PERMEABILITY, THE ANISOTROPY, AND THE PORE SURFACE MICRO-ROUGHNESS. A COMPUTER AIDED THREE DIMENSIONAL NETWORK SIMULATOR OF TWO PHASE VISCOUS FLOW OR DIFFUSION IN POROUS MEDIA IS TO BE DEVELOPED. THROUGH PLANAR AND 3-D EXPERIMENTS, WHERE THE PARAMETERS CAN BE CONTROLLED, THE RELIABILITY OF THE PROTOTYPE SIMULATORS IS TO BE ASSESSED.
