多孔介质中气泡卡阻的可视化实验研究

气泡卡阻是多孔介质两相输运过程中的一个重要现象,但是气泡卡阻的动力学和几何条件一直未被系统地研究。本文使用二维孔网络模型,对注射到多孔介质中气泡在浮力作用下的形成、迁移和卡阻现象进行了可视化研究。研究发现,孔喉系数为1的多孔介质中气体在不同注射速率下均不发生卡阻,而孔喉系数为0.33的多孔介质中卡阻大量发生。基于上述实验现象进行建模,结果显示,较大的Bo数不利于气泡的卡阻;适中的孔喉系数有利于气泡的卡阻。

Two-phase flow in porous media: dynamical phase transition

We study numerically the behavior of two-phase flow in porous media via the parameters capillary number and viscosity ratio, under steady-state conditions and various levels of saturation. We construct a phase diagram, where the phases are defined according to whether one or both fluids move. We establish a semi-empirical theory for the location of the phase boundaries. The steady-state conditions are obtained by implementing biperiodic boundary conditions.     

Stochastic effects on single phase fluid flow in porous media.

The flow encoded PEPI technique has been used to measure the fluid velocity distribution and fluid flow of water passing through a phantom comprising randomly distributed 10 mm glass beads. The object of these experiments is to determine the degree of causality between one steady-state flow condition and another. That is to say, knowing the mean fluid velocity and velocity distribution, can one predict what happens at a higher mean fluid velocity? In a second related experiment flow is established at a given mean fluid velocity. The velocity distribution is measured. The flow is then turned off and later re-established. In both kinds of experiment we conclude that the errors in predicting the flow velocity distribution and the errors in re-establishing a given velocity distribution lie well outside the intrinsic thermal noise associated with velocity measurement. It follows, therefore, that the causal approach to prediction of flow velocity distributions in porous media using the Navier-Stokes approach is invalid.

Isotropic phase of nematics in porous media

We study the effect of random porous matrices on the isotropic-nematic phase transition. Sufficiently close to the cleaning temperature, both random field and thermal fluctuations are important as disordering agents. A novel random field fixed point of the renormalization group equation was found that controls the transition from isotropic to the replica symmetric phase. Explicit evaluation of the exponents in d = 6 ? ε dimensions yields to a dimensional reduction and three-exponent scaling.     

Particle-based simulation and visualization of fluid flows through porous media

Abstract  

We propose a method of fluid simulation where boundary conditions are designed in such a way that fluid flow through porous media, pipes, and chokes can be realistically simulated. Such flows are known to be low Reynolds number incompressible flows and occur in many real life situations. To obtain a high quality fluid surface, we include a scalar value in isofunction. The scalar value indicates the relative position of each particle with respect to the fluid surface.     

Existence of a hexatic phase in porous media

Molecular simulations for simple fluids in narrow slit-shaped carbon pores exhibit crystal-hexatic and hexatic-liquid transitions that are consistent with Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young theory. The temperature range over which the hexatic phase is stable is dramatically widened under confinement. Remarkably, the transitions, which are continuous for a single adsorbed layer, become weakly first order when the pore can accommodate two molecular layers. Nonlinear dielectric effect measurements for CCl4 and aniline in activated carbon fibers (pore width 1.4 nm) show divergence at these transitions, confirming the hexatic phase.     

MR measurement of critical phase transition dynamics and supercritical fluid dynamics in capillary and porous media flow

Supercritical fluids (SCF) are useful solvents in green chemistry and oil recovery and are of great current interest in the context of carbon sequestration. Magnetic resonance techniques were applied to study near critical and supercritical dynamics for pump driven flow through a capillary and a packed bed porous media. Velocity maps and displacement propagators measure the dynamics of C(2)F(6) at pressures below, at, and above the critical pressure and at temperatures below and above the critical temperature. Displacement propagators were measured at various displacement observation times to quantify the time evolution of dynamics. In capillary flow, the critical phase transition fluid C(2)F(6) showed increased compressibility compared to the near critical gas and supercritical fluid. These flows exhibit large variations in buoyancy arising from large changes in density due to very small changes in temperature.     

Modeling of flow and mass transport in granular porous media

The scope of this work is to estimate the effective mass-transfer coefficient in a two-phase system of oil and water fluid droplets, both being in a porous medium. To this end, a tracer is advected from the flowing aqueous phase to the immobile non-aqueous one. Partitioning at the fluid-fluid interface and surface diffusion are also taken into account. By using spatial/volume-averaging techniques, the appropriately simplified boundary-value problems are described and numerically solved for the flow velocity field and for the transport problem. The problem was found to be controlled by the Peclet number of the flowing phase, the dimensionless parameter Λ, containing both diffusion and partition in the two phases, as well as the geometrical properties of the porous structure. It is also verified that the usually involved unit cell-configurations underestimate the mass transport to the immobile phase.     

Numerical study on permeability characteristics of fractal porous media

The fractal Brownian motion is utilized to describe pore structures in porous media. A numerical model of laminar flow in porous media is developed, and the flow characteristics are comprehensively analyzed and compared with those of homogeneous porous media. Moreover, the roles of the fractal dimension and porosity in permeability are quantitatively described. The results indicate that the pore structures of porous media significantly affect their seepage behaviors. The distributions of pressure and velocity in fractal porous media are both non-uniform; the streamline is no longer straight but tortuous. When Reynolds number Re 1, the dimensionless permeability is independent of Reynolds number, but its further increase will lead to a smaller permeability. Moreover, due to the higher connectivity and enlarged equivalent aperture of internal channel network, the augment in porosity leads to the permeability enhancement, while it is small and insensitive to porosity variation when ε 0.6. Fractal dimension also plays a significant role in the permeability of porous media. The increase in fractal dimension leads to the enhancement in pore connectivity and a decrease in channel tortuosity,which reduces the flow resistance and improves the transport capacity of porous media.
