A two-scale fractal permeability model for vuggy porous media

Zhaoqin Huang et al.

Summary: This paper presents a two-scale fractal permeability model for natural vuggy porous media based on the fractal characteristics of interparticle pores and vugs. The results show that the predicted permeability varies within a certain range, with the maximum permeability occurring when larger vugs match with larger capillary tubes and the minimum permeability occurring in the opposite case. The validity of the proposed model is verified by comparing with experimental results and reference data in the literature. Parameter sensitivity analysis indicates that the fractal dimension and tortuosity of capillary tubes, as well as the maximum diameter of capillary tubes and vugs, have significant effects on the predicted permeability.

A spectral element-based phase field method for incompressible two-phase flows

Yao Xiao et al.

Summary: In this paper, a spectral element-based phase field method is proposed for solving the Navier-Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard equations for incompressible two-phase flows. The method effectively tackles the challenge posed by the high-order nonlinear term of the Cahn-Hilliard equation by employing the Newton-Raphson method. The decoupling of the Navier-Stokes equations using a time-stepping scheme improves the stability and convergence efficiency for computations with large density and viscosity contrast.

Connectivity, permeability and flow channelization in fractured karst reservoirs: A numerical investigation based on a two-dimensional discrete fracture-cave network model

Xu Zhang et al.

Summary: Fractured karst reservoirs are important for hydrocarbon reserves and groundwater storage, but their complex heterogeneities pose challenges in characterizing their connectivity and hydraulic conductivity. This study proposes an analytical formulation to characterize the connectivity of discrete fracture-cave networks and explores the relationship between connectivity and permeability through numerical simulations. The results show a power law scaling between connectivity and permeability, with significant flow channeling occurring around the percolation threshold.

Anomalous transport in a porous medium with randomly packed ellipse cavities

Mojdeh Rasoulzadeh

Summary: This study investigates the transport of nonreactive tracers in a binary porous medium with randomly packed ellipse fluid-filled cavities. Anomalous transport behaviors, including early arrival time and long tailing, are observed due to the high contrast in medium properties and complex fluid velocity structure. The researchers quantify the transport features using a particle tracking method and propose a continuous time random walk (CTRW) framework to represent an upscaled model. Several key parameters, including cavity aspect ratio, porous background permeability, and the Peclet (Pe) number, are found to have significant effects on the anomalous transport process.

Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Near the Cavity in a Poroelastic Media

Anton Azarov et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the propagation of hydraulic fractures in a poroelastic medium with a circular cavity and finds that the path of the fracture is strongly influenced by the hydrostatic stress in the medium and the distance between the crack and the cavity. It also shows that the cracks are less curved when considering the coupled problem of poroelasticity.
