非线性方程的保辛近似算法

保守体系的微分方程可用Hamilton体系的方法描述,其特点是保辛。两个辛矩阵之和不能保辛,两个辛矩阵的乘积仍是辛矩阵。最常用的小参数摄动法用的是加法,因此对辛矩阵不能保辛。从保辛的角度,要用正则变换。本文针对非线性微分方程,运用自变量坐标变换,对原系统进行变换。由此推导出变换后系统的变分原理。引入Hamilton对偶变量,通过数学变换,得到变系数非线性方程。针对该方程,本文提出了保辛摄动算法。通过数值算例,对不同步长下,保辛摄动法、多尺度摄动法、龙格库塔法和精确解的结果做了比较。数值例题表明,对于非线性方程,本文提出的保辛摄动算法有良好的精度。在步长增大的情况下,保辛摄动保持了良好的稳定性。

A perturbation solution for non-Newtonian fluid two-phase flow through Porous media

In this paper, the mathematical problem of weak non-Newtonian fluid two-phase flow through porous media, including the effect of capillary pressure, is solved by singular perturbation method in combination with regular perturbation method. The asymptotic analytical solutions of the fractional flow function and the wetting phase saturation are obtained. The results are verified by numerical calculations and by classical solutions for corresponding Newtonian case. The influences of the non-Newtonian exponent and capillary pressure are discussed.     

Pore Network Analysis of Resistivity Index for Water-Wet Porous Media

Pore network analysis is used to investigate the effects of microscopic parameters of the pore structure such as pore geometry, pore-size distribution, pore space topology and fractal roughness porosity on resistivity index curves of strongly water-wet porous media. The pore structure is represented by a three-dimensional network of lamellar capillary tubes with fractal roughness features along their pore-walls. Oil-water drainage (conventional porous plate method) is simulated with a bond percolation-and-fractal roughness model without trapping of wetting fluid. The resistivity index, saturation exponent and capillary pressure are expressed as approximate functions of the pore network parameters by adopting some simplifying assumptions and using effective medium approximation, universal scaling laws of percolation theory and fractal geometry. Some new phenomenological models of resistivity index curves of porous media are derived. Finally, the eventual changes of resistivity index caused by the permanent entrapment of wetting fluid in the pore network are also studied.Resistivity index and saturation exponent are decreasing functions of the degree of correlation between pore volume and pore size as well as the width of the pore size distribution, whereas they are independent on the mean pore size. At low water saturations, the saturation exponent decreases or increases for pore systems of low or high fractal roughness porosity respectively, and obtains finite values only when the wetting fluid is not trapped in the pore network. The dependence of saturation exponent on water saturation weakens for strong correlation between pore volume and pore size, high network connectivity, medium pore-wall roughness porosity and medium width of the pore size distribution. The resistivity index can be described succesfully by generalized 3-parameter power functions of water saturation where the parameter values are related closely with the geometrical, topological and fractal properties of the pore structure.     

A Discussion of the Effect of Tortuosity on the Capillary Imbibition in Porous Media

In the past decades, there was considerable controversy over the Lucas–Washburn (LW) equation widely applied in capillary imbibition kinetics. Many experimental results showed that the time exponent of the LW equation is less than 0.5. Based on the tortuous capillary model and fractal geometry, the effect of tortuosity on the capillary imbibition in wetting porous media is discussed in this article. The average height growth of wetting liquid in porous media driven by capillary force following the [`(L)] _s(t) ~ t^1/2D_T{\overline L _{\rm {s}}(t)\sim t^{1/{2D_{\rm {T}}}}} law is obtained (here D _T is the fractal dimension for tortuosity, which represents the heterogeneity of flow in porous media). The LW law turns out to be the special case when the straight capillary tube (D _T = 1) is assumed. The predictions by the present model for the time exponent for capillary imbibition in porous media are compared with available experimental data, and the present model can reproduce approximately the global trend of variation of the time exponent with porosity changing.     

Efficiency of Capillary Imbibition Dominated Displacement of Nonwetting Phase by Wetting Phase in Fractured Porous Media

The critical and optimum injection rates as well as the critical fracture capillary number for an efficient displacement process are determined based on the experimental and numerical modeling of the displacement of nonwetting phase (oil) by wetting phase (water) in fractured porous media. The efficiency of the process is defined in terms of the nonwetting phase displaced from the system per amount of wetting phase injected and per time. Also, the effects of injection rate on capillary imbibition transfer dominated two-phase flow in fractured porous media are clarified by visualizing the experiments. The results reveal that as the injection rate is increased, fracture pattern begins to become an effective parameter on the matrix saturation distribution. As the rate is lowered, however, the system begins to behave like a homogeneous system showing a frontal displacement regardless the fracture configuration.     

The Physical Origin of Interfacial Coupling in Two-Phase Flow through Porous Media

Recently developed transport equations for two-phase flow through porous media usually have a second term that has been included to account properly for interfacial coupling between the two flowing phases. The source and magnitude of such coupling is not well understood. In this study, a partition concept has been introduced into Kalaydjian's transport equations to construct modified transport equations that enable a better understanding of the role of interfacial coupling in two-phase flow through natural porous media. Using these equations, it is demonstrated that, in natural porous media, the physical origin of interfacial coupling is the capillarity of the porous medium, and not interfacial momentum transfer, as is usually assumed. The new equations are also used to show that, under conditions of steady-state flow, the magnitude of mobilities measured in a countercurrent flow experiment is the same as that measured in a cocurrent flow experiment, contrary to what has been reported previously. Moreover, the new equations are used to explicate the mechanism by which a saturation front steepens in an unstabilized displacement, and to show that the rate at which a wetting fluid is imbibed into a porous medium is controlled by the capillary coupling parameter, . Finally, it is argued that the capillary coupling parameter, , is dependent, at least in part, on porosity. Because a clear understanding of the role played by interfacial coupling is important to an improved understanding of two-phase flow through porous media, the new transport equations should prove to be effective tools for the study of such flow.     

Effects of Precursor Wetting Films in Immiscible Displacement Through Porous Media

A computer-aided simulator of immiscible displacement in strongly water-wet consolidated porous media that takes into account the effects of the wetting films is developed. The porous medium is modeled as a three-dimensional network of randomly sized unit cells of the constricted-tube type. Precursor wetting films are assumed to advance through the microroughness of the pore walls. Two types of pore wall microroughness are considered. In the first type of microroughness, the film advances quickly, driven by capillary pressure. In the second type, the meniscus moves relatively slowly, driven by local bulk pressure differences. In the latter case, the wetting film often forms a collar that squeezes the thread of oil causing oil disconnection. Each pore is assumed to have either one of the aforementioned microroughness types, or both. The type of microroughness in each pore is assigned randomly. The simulator is used to predict the residual oil saturation as a function of the pertinent parameters (capillary number, viscosity ratio, fraction of pores with each type of wall microroughness). These results are compared with those obtained in the absence of wetting films. It is found that wetting films cause substantial increase of the residual oil saturation. Furthermore, the action of the wetting films causes an increase of the mean volume of the residual oil ganglia.     

Analysis of Seepage for Power-Law Fluids in the Fractal-Like Tree Network

This work studies the flow characteristics of power-law fluids in the fractal-like tree network. A fractal model is developed for the permeability of power-law fluid flow in fractal-like tree network based on straight capillary model, generalized Darcy’s law and constitutive equation for power-law fluids. Analytical expression for permeability of power-law fluids in the network is presented and found to be a function of network microstructural parameters such as the branching diameter ratio, the branching length ratio, the total number of branching levels, the bifurcation angle, the branching number, the diameter of the zeroth branching level and the power exponent of power-law fluids. Both the phase permeabilities and the relative permeabilities are also derived and found to be a function of power exponent for the wetting phase and non-wetting phase, the saturation and other microstructural parameters and independent of the bifurcation angle.

Large Scale Mixing for Immiscible Displacement in Heterogeneous Porous Media

We derive a large scale mixing parameter for a displacement process of one fluid by another immiscible one in a two-dimensional heterogeneous porous medium. The mixing of the displacing fluid saturation due to the heterogeneities of the permeabilities is captured by a dispersive flux term in the large scale homogeneous flow equation. By making use of the stochastic approach we develop a definition of the dispersion coefficient and apply a Eulerian perturbation theory to determine explicit results to second order in the fluctuations of the total velocity. We apply this method to a uniform flow configuration as well as to a radial one. The dispersion coefficient is found to depend on the mean total velocity and can therefore be time varying. The results are compared to numerical multi-realization calculations. We found that the use of single phase flow stochastics cannot capture all phenomena observed in the numerical simulations.     

Effective Relative Permeabilities and Capillary Pressure for One-Dimensional Heterogeneous Media

The paper presents an analytical construction of effective two-phase parameters for one-dimensional heterogeneous porous media, and studies their properties. We base the computation of effective parameters on analytical solutions for steady-state saturation distributions. Special care has to be taken with respect to saturation and pressure discontinuities at the interface between different rocks. The ensuing effective relative permeabilities and effective capillary pressure will be functions of rate, flow direction, fluid viscosities, and spatial scale of the heterogeneities.The applicability of the effective parameters in dynamic displacement situations is studied by comparing fine-gridded simulations in heterogeneous media with simulations in their homogeneous (effective) counterparts. Performance is quite satisfactory, even with strong fronts present. Also, we report computations studying the applicability of capillary limit parameters outside the strict limit.
