Abstract In this work the numerical study of the hydrodynamic efficiency of the multistage filters setting technology is carried out on the basis of mathematical simulation. Obtained results of a flow of solution in porous media near a wellbore qualitatively conform to the experimental data. In calculations the well is considered as the high-permeability channel with the fictitious permeability coefficient depending on a filter construction (porosity, form of perforations). The results of calculation show that the fictitious permeability coefficient has deep influence on the fluid influx to the well and the distribution of flow rate on well height is not uniform. The developed model is used for the axisymmetric case. Calculations were carried out for a single well; however it can be easily applied to solve the 3D problem with various sets of wells.

This paper contains a general study on the natural clogging of porous media by suspended sediment in water. This creates with time a decrease in the permeability coefficient and consequently a reduction of the seepage flow.Two theories are presented and compared for the prediction of the rate of clogging in nature. The two approaches have been verified by experimental data obtained from tests carried out at Laval University. Results have permitted the limits of application of each method to be denned.

During oilfield development, there exist multi-cycle gas–water mutual displacement processes. This means that a cycling process such as water driving gas–gas driving water–water driving gas is used for the operation of injection and production in a single well (such as foam huff and puff in single well or water-bearing gas storage). In this paper, by using core- and micro-pore scales model, we study the distribution of gas and water and the flow process of gas-water mutual displacement. We find that gas and water are easier to disperse in the porous media and do not flow in continuous gas and water phases. The Jamin effect of the gas or bubble becomes more severe and makes the flow mechanism of multi-cycle gas–water displacement different from the conventional water driving gas or gas driving water processes. Based on experiments of gas–water mutual displacement, the changing mechanism of gas–water displacement is determined. The results indicate that (1) after gas–water mutual displacement, the residual gas saturation of a gas–water coexistence zone becomes larger and the two-phase zone becomes narrower, (2) increasing the number of injection and production cycles causes the relative permeability of gas to increase and relative permeability for water to decrease, (3) it becomes easier for gas to intrude and the invaded water becomes more difficult to drive out and (4) the microcosmic fluid distribution of each stage have a great difference, which caused the two-phase region becomes narrower and effective volume of gas storage becomes narrower.

An experimental and numerical study has been carried out for laminar forced convection in a long pipe heated by uniform heat flux and subjected to a reciprocating flow of air. Transient fluid temperature variations in the two mixing chambers connected to both ends of the heated section were measured. These measurements were used as the thermal boundary conditions for the numerical simulation of the hydrodynamically and thermally developing reciprocating flow in the heated pipe. The coupled governing equations for time-dependent convective heat transfer in the fluid flow and conduction in the wall of the heated tube were solved numerically. The numerical results for time-resolved centerline fuid temperature, cycle-averaged wall temperature, and the space-cycle averaged Nusselt number are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Based on the experimental data, a correlation equation is obtained for the cycle-space averaged Nusselt number in terms of appropriate dimensionless parameters for a laminar reciprocating flow of air in a long pipe with constant heat flux.

Abstract A detail numerical study of detonation propagation and interaction with a flame arrestor product was conducted. The simulation domain was based on the detonation flame arrestor validation test setup. The flame arrestor element was modeled as a porous zone using the Forchheimer equation. The coefficients of the Forchheimer equation were determined using experimental data. The Forchheimer equation was incorporated into the governing equations for axisymmetric reactive turbulent flow as a momentum sink. A 21-step elementary reaction mechanism with 10 species was used to model the stoichiometric oxyhydrogen detonation. Different cases of detonation propagation including inviscid, viscous adiabatic, and viscous with heat transfer and a porous zone were studied. A detail discussion of the detonation propagation and effect of the arrestor geometry, the heat transfer and the porous zone are presented. The inviscid numerical model solutions of the detonation propagation parameters are compared to one-dimensional analytical solution for verification. The viscous solutions are qualitatively compared to historical experimental data which shows very similar trend. The effect of the porous media parameters on shock transmission and re-initiation of detonation is presented.

Modeling of dynamic processes of diffusion and filtration of liquids in porous media are discussed. The media are formed by a large number of blocks with low permeability, and separated by a connected system of faults with high permeability. The modeling is based on solving initial boundary value problems for parabolic equations of diffusion and filtration in porous media. The structure of the media leads to the dependence of the equations on a small parameter. Assertions on the solvability and regularity of such problems and the corresponding homogenized convolution problems are considered. The statements are actual for the numerical solution of this problem with guaranteed accuracy that is necessary to model the considered processes.
