Non-isothermal Permeability Impairment by Fines Migration and Deposition in Porous Media including Dispersive Transport

Particle migration and deposition, and resulting permeability impairment occurring in porous media are described by a practical phenomenological model considering temperature variation and particle transport by advection and dispersion. Variation of the filter coefficient and permeability of porous matrix by temperature and particle deposition, and other essential factors are considered by means of the special correlations of the relevant variables and dimensionless numbers. Comparison of the numerical results, obtained using a finite-difference numerical scheme with and without considering the dispersion mechanism and temperature variation, reveals the significance of such effects on fines migration and deposition, and consequent permeability impairment in porous media. Improved model presented in this article can be instrumental for scientifically guided experimentation, analysis, and optimal design of processes involving in transport of colloidal and fine particles through geological subsurface formations.

An Efficient Modeling Approach to Simulate Heat Transfer Rate between Fracture and Matrix Regions for Oil Shale Retorting

The conversion of hydrocarbons in oil shale into liquid fuels has gained interest due to decreasing conventional oil reserves. Thermal conversion involves heating fractured rock and recovering gas and liquid phase products. The efficiency of this process is markedly dependent on heat transfer limitations between fracture porosity and rock matrix. Computer models are useful tools for process optimization. Explicit modeling of heat transfer processes within rock fragments would require great computational effort, making inverse modeling and forward process optimization very difficult if not impracticable. In this article, we evaluate the feasibility of using first-order heat transfer formulations to approximate these processes by comparing first-order model results with a rigorous explicit formulation and by comparison with laboratory retorting experiments published in the literature. Comparison of the two modeling approaches indicates that the first-order heat transfer approximation can be used without significant loss of accuracy if the block size and/or heating rate are not too large, as quantified by a proposed dimensionless heating rate. However, computational effort can be decreased by an order of magnitude compared with explicitly simulating diffusive heat transfer.     

An Experimental Model to Simulate Arterial Pulsatile Flow: In Vitro Pressure and Pressure Gradient Wave Study

A new experimental model developed to simulate arterial pulsatile flow is presented in this paper. As a representative example, the flow characteristics and the properties of brachial artery were adopted for the purpose of this study. With the physiological flow of the human brachial artery as the input, the pressure and pressure gradient waves under healthy and different scenarios mimicking diseased conditions were simulated. The diseased conditions include the increase in blood viscosity (reflecting the elevation of hematocrit), stiffening of the arterial wall, and stiffening of the aortic root as the coupling between the heart and arterial tree, presented by the Windkessel element in the setup. Each of these conditions resulted in certain effects on the propagation of the pressure and pressure gradient waves, as well as their patterns and values, investigated experimentally. The results suggest that the pressure wave dampens at arterial sites with higher hematocrit, while the stiffening of the Windkessel element elevated the diastolic pressure, and lowered the pressure drop, similar to the results observed by stiffening the arterial wall. Based on these results, it is hypothesised that the cardiovascular system may not function within the minimum energy consumption criterion, contrary to some other physiological functions.     

Impact of Effective Stress and Matrix Deformation on the Coal Fracture Permeability

The permeability of coal is an important parameter in mine methane control and coal bed methane exploitation because it determines the practicability of methane extraction. We developed a new coal permeability model under tri-axial stress conditions. In our model, the coal matrix is compressible and Biot’s coefficient, which is considered to be 1 in existing models, varies between 0 and 1. Only a portion of the matrix deformation, which is represented by the effective coal matrix deformation factor $f_\mathrm{m}$ , contributes to fracture deformation. The factor $f_\mathrm{m}$ is a parameter of the coal structure and is a constant between 0 and 1 for a specific coal. Laboratory tests indicate that the Sulcis coal sample has an $f_\mathrm{m}$ value of 0.1794 for $\hbox {N}_{2}$ and $\hbox {CO}_{2}$ . The proposed permeability model was evaluated using published data for the Sulcis coal sample and is compared to three popular permeability models. The proposed model agrees well with the observed permeability changes and can predict the permeability of coal better than the other models. The sensitivity of the new model to changes in the physical, mechanical and adsorption deformation parameters of the coal was investigated. Biot’s coefficient and the bulk modulus mainly affect the effective stress term in the proposed model. The sorption deformation parameters and the factor $f_\mathrm{m}$ affect the coal matrix deformation term.

为研究花岗岩侧向变形及脆性破坏机制,对花岗岩试件进行单轴压缩实验。利用动态应变采集系统、数字散斑相关方法(DSCM)和显微观测手段,记录并分析花岗岩试件在单轴压缩过程中的宏观侧向应变、局部侧向应变以及破裂面形貌,并与水泥砂浆试件的破坏过程对比,讨论了花岗岩脆性破坏机制。实验与分析结果表明:(1)花岗岩试件在加载初期发生侧向收缩变形,产生并发展于压密阶段,消失于线弹性阶段初期,这主要由于试件内部裂纹闭合造成的;此后,宏观侧向应变持续增长,当侧向应变与轴向应变之比接近0.5时试件破坏;(2)在峰值载荷前很长一段时间内,局部侧向应变在一定范围内波动,临近试件破坏时局部侧向应变最大值和最小值均出现较大幅度的波动,二者差值迅速增大,试件不均匀程度增大,最终导致试件破坏;(3)在峰值载荷前有无塑性屈服阶段是峰值载荷后脆性破坏程度的重要影响因素,而宏观裂纹的贯通程度是峰值载荷后应力降大小的决定因素。

Experimental Measurements of Stress and Chemical Controls on the Evolution of Fracture Permeability

We explore how fracture permeability in confined tight carbonates evolves due to flow of reactive fluids. Core plugs of the Capitan Massive Limestone are saw-cut to form a smooth axial fracture that is subsequently roughened to control the fracture surface topography. Either distilled water or distilled water–ammonium chloride solutions are circulated through these plugs, where fracture roughness, inlet fluid pH, and confining stresses are controlled. Throughout the experiment we measure the fluid flow rate and chemical composition of the effluent fluid. Mass balance, conducted on the effluent fluid mass and on dissolved mineral components, independently constrains the mineral mass removal. We use an idealized lumped parameter model of asperity supported fractures undergoing simultaneous stress corrosion cracking-induced diffusion and free-face dissolution to infer theoretical rates of aperture loss or gain. This model incorporates the roles of confining stress, fracture contact area, and composition and reactivity of the permeating fluid while identifying zones of diffusion-dominated mass transfer within the fracture. These theoretical rates of aperture strain are compared to those inferred from the experimentally determined permeability evolution and permeating fluid mineral mass balance. By measuring in regimes of both increasing and decreasing permeability we quantitatively constrain the transition between fracture-gaping and fracture-closing modes of behavior. We parameterize this transition in permeability evolution by the ratio of mechanically to chemically controlled dissolved mass fluxes. The transition from regimes of closing to regimes of gaping occurs at unity ( $\chi \approx 1$ ) when stress and chemically driven mass fluxes are theoretically equal.     

Novel Experimental Method to Determine the Cutting Effectiveness of Grinding Grits

This work presents a novel experimental apparatus to determine the cutting effectiveness of grinding grits. The apparatus consists of a custom high-speed scratch tester, a force measurement system, and an offline 3D optical profilometer. Preliminary results based on a spherical tool are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the system. Experiments were performed at depths of cut ranging from 0.3 μm to 7.5 μm at cutting speeds of 5 m/s to 30 m/s in 5 m/s increments. High resolution scans of the scratch profiles provided insight into the change in the cutting mechanics as the depth of cut and cutting speed were increased. In general, lower cutting speeds produced higher pile-up heights while higher cutting speeds produced lower pile-up heights. The force measurements indicated that the normal forces increased with cutting speed due to strain rate hardening of the workpiece material while the tangential forces decreased with cutting speed due to a reduction in the coefficient of friction and a change in the cutting mechanics. The force ratio data and the specific energy data both demonstrated high slopes at low depths of cut due to asperity contact between the tool and the workpiece. The modular nature of the developed system allows different grit geometries to be investigated.

A New Cleat Volume Compressibility Determination Method and Corresponding Modification to Coal Permeability Model

Coal is known as a dual-porosity media composed of cleat and matrix pore. Methane can be stored in the cleats or adsorbed on the inner surface of matrix pore. While fluid mobility is mainly controlled by the developed cleat network, methane desorption has a significant effect on cleat deformation. In the process of coalbed methane recovery, both reservoir compaction and matrix shrinkage will occur and have opposite effects on permeability evolutions. A variety of analytical permeability models have been developed to describe the transient characteristics of permeability in coals. In this study, three common permeability models are first revisited and evaluated against the experimental data under uniaxial strain condition. Shi–Durucan (S&D) model demonstrates the best performance among these models. However, constant cleat volume compressibility was used to assume for S&D model, and the generalization of S&D model is significantly limited. For ease of generalization, the relation between cleat volume compressibility and effective horizontal stress is re-derived and introduced to the derivation of permeability model. Since coal reservoirs usually demonstrate strong anisotropy and heterogeneity, the influences of elastic and adsorption properties are further tested to reveal the overall trend of permeability. The results show that S&D model and its modification with the main variable of effective horizontal stress have the best performances in matching the experimental data under uniaxial strain. The relationship between cleat volume compressibility and effective horizontal stress can be better reflected by the inverse proportional function. In addition, the strengths of reservoir compaction effect relative to matrix shrinkage effect in different models only vary with Poisson’s ratio, while their magnitudes are also affected by Young’s modulus. For a typical coal reservoir, the C&B and P&M models will observe a stronger permeability decline at the initial, while the improved P&M model will receive an earlier and more rapid rebound than the S&D and W&Z models.     

Experimental and Theoretical Assessment of Brittle Fracture in Engineering Components Containing a Sharp V-Notch

A criterion was proposed to predict brittle fracture in engineering components containing sharp V-shaped notches and subjected to mixed mode I/II loading. The criterion, called SV-MTS, was developed based on the maximum tangential stress (MTS) criterion proposed originally for analyzing crack problems. The curves which are obtained from the SV-MTS criterion could be used conveniently to predict the fracture resistance and also the notch bifurcation angle in sharp V-notched components under pure mode II and also mixed mode loading. To evaluate the validity of the proposed criterion, a set of fracture tests were conducted on a new test specimen, called sharp V-notched Brazilian disc (SV-BD), under mixed mode loading conditions. It is shown that the experimental results obtained from PMMA specimens are in very good agreement with the curves of SV-MTS criterion.     

Experimental Study on the Pore Structure Fractals and Seepage Characteristics of a Coal Sample Around a Borehole in Coal Seam Water Infusion

In this study, a two-dimensional fully coupled computational model is developed for simulation of proppant settlement in hydro-fractures with the use of the extended finite element framework. The porous domain is governed by the well-known \((\mathbf{u}-p)\) formulation, which consists of the momentum balance equation of the bulk, in conjunction with the momentum balance and continuity equations of the pore fluid. The hydro-fracture inflow is modeled as a 1D flow on the basis of the Darcy law, in which fracture permeability is incorporated by means of the cubic law. Contact constraints are elaborated to eliminate the overlap of fracture edges and the leak-off flow. Proppant settlement is conducted on the basis of Stokes’ law for particle terminal velocity, in which the effects of fracture walls, concentration, viscosity and bridging are incorporated into the model. A fixed-point algorithm is introduced to achieve the optimum combination for the proppant injection. Using the extended finite element method, the strong discontinuity in the displacement field due to crack body, as well as the weak discontinuity in the pressure field due to leakage, is included in the model with the use of the Heaviside and modified level set enrichment functions, respectively. The robustness and versatility of the proposed numerical algorithm in determining the optimum proppant injection is examined through several numerical simulations.
