The effect of vertical angular subtense on perception of slant from horizontal size disparity

The slant from horizontal size disparity is geometrically predictable. The apparent slant, however, is usually not equivalent to the prediction as numerous visual factors affect it. The aim of this study is to examine whether the vertical angular subtense of a stimulus with horizontal size disparity alters the magnitude of perceived slant for a given horizontal angular subtense. The results indicate that a smaller angular subtense of display produces a smaller magnitude of slant perception.     

Curvilinear smoothed particle hydrodynamics

We suggest a new set of equations to employ smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) in a curvilinear space, and we refer to it as curvSPH. In classical SPH, the horizontal and vertical resolution of discretization is supposed to be equal for fluid particles. However, curvSPH makes the horizontal and vertical resolutions independent from each other. This is performed by transformation of physical space into an appropriate computational space with a different scale in horizontal and vertical directions. Solving a problem using SPH in a curvilinear space also provides capability to model curved boundaries as straight lines. In classical SPH, special care is needed to reach a uniform mass distribution along curved boundaries; however, producing uniform mass distribution along a line using curvSPH is straight forward. Different simulations, including simulation of a flip bucket are performed to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. Good agreement of results with experimental data and classical SPH confirms the capabilities of curvSPH. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于等效井径模型,综合考虑各裂缝不同参数、裂缝变质量入流和井筒变质量流动等因素的影响,建立并求解了基岩和压裂缝同时向井筒供气的井筒与气藏耦合的压裂水平井产能预测模型.研究分析了压裂水平井产能敏感因素.结果表明:压裂水平井的产能随裂缝条数、裂缝半长、裂缝间距的增加而增加;为获得较高的产能,压裂时应尽可能保持裂缝与井筒垂直;压裂缝条数一定时,裂缝越长、间距越大,压裂缝产能贡献越大,而裂缝越短、间距越小时,基岩向井筒供气的贡献越大,压裂缝贡献相对较小.研究成果为气藏压裂水平井设计提供了科学依据.

在建立水平井流动方程的基础上,通过气固两相流动基本数学模型的求解数值模拟不同工况条件下的气固混合物冲蚀能量,得出了冲蚀能量的变化规律。算例数值模拟显示:环空速度剖面主要由注气量大小决定,机械钻速的影响不大;相同注气量条件下,机械钻速降低与井下岩屑浓度等比例下降;注气量的增加能提高井眼净化程度,但不如降低机械钻速效果明显;环空总冲蚀能中气体冲蚀能量占绝对主要地位,岩屑冲蚀能量只占极小部分,在相同注气量条件下总冲蚀能量基本相同;岩屑冲蚀能量主要取决于机械钻速,机械钻速越大井底产生岩屑越多冲蚀能力越强,相同机械钻速条件下,较大注气量能提供较大岩屑运移速度,提高了岩屑冲蚀能量。

Scaling Immiscible Displacements in Porous Media with Horizontal Wells

Despite the increase in horizontal well applications, scaling fluid displacement in porous medium with horizontal wells is yet to be fully investigated. Determining the conditions under which horizontal wells may lead to better oil recovery is of great importance to the petroleum industry. In this paper, a numerical sensitivity study was performed for several well configurations. The study is performed in order to reveal the functional relationships between the scaling groups governing the displacement and the performance of immiscible displacements in homogeneous reservoirs produced by horizontal wells. These relationships can be used as a quick prediction tool for the fractional oil recovery for any combinations of the scaling groups, thus eliminating the need for the expensive fine-mesh simulations. In addition, they provide the condition under which a horizontal well configuration may yield better recovery performance. These results have potential applications in modeling immiscible displacements and in the scaling of laboratory displacements to field conditions.
