Simulation of micellar-polymericwater-flooding in a system of wells

A mathematical model of the time-dependent two-dimensional flow of a two-phase multicomponent incompressible fluid through a porous medium is proposed for the micellar-polymeric flooding of oil reservoirs. The oil displacement process is investigated numerically using an implicit first-order-accurate upwind scheme with integration over the nonlinearity on a uniform grid under the assumption of plane-radial motion in the neighborhood of the wells. The influence of the nonuniform permeability of the porous medium on the efficiency of the proposed method of improving oil recovery is analyzed using a five-point slug injection scheme.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, 2004, pp. 124–132.

Resonant phenomena in a cylindrical shell containing a spherical inclusion and immersed in an elastic medium

A method is proposed to investigate the behavior of an axisymmetric system consisting of an infinite thin elastic cylindrical shell immersed in an infinite elastic medium, filled with a perfect compressible fluid, and containing an oscillating spherical inclusion. The system is subjected to periodic excitation. The task is to detect so-called resonant phenomena, to establish conditions that cause them, and to examine the possibilities of using the characteristic parameters of such a hydroelastic system to influence these conditions. The method allows transforming the general solutions of mathematical physics equations from one coordinate system to another to obtain exact analytic solutions (in the form of Fourier series) to interaction problems for systems of rigid and elastic bodies __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 7, pp. 82–97, July 2006.     

Effect of acoustic cavitation on boiling heat transfer

Boiling heat transfer on a horizontal circular copper tube in an acoustical field is investigated experimentally and the relation between the liquid cavitation, the boiling and the micro bubble radii are analyzed theoretically. The results show that cavitation bubbles have an important influence on the nucleation, growth and collapse of vapor embryo within cavities on the heat transfer surface and that the enhancement of boiling heat transfer by acoustic cavitation mainly depends on whether the vapor embryo is activated by the cavitation bubbles to initiate boiling.     

Notes on Convection in a Porous Medium: (i) an Effctive Rayleigh Number for an Anisotropic Layer, (ii) the Malkus Hypothesis and Wavenumber Selection

Studies of convection in a layer of a saturated anisotropic porous medium uniformly heated from below are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the usefulness of an effective Rayleigh number, defined (for certain boundary conditions) as the square harmonic-mean square root of horizontally-based and vertically-based Rayleigh numbers. The status of the Malkus hypothesis, together with its relationship with observed cell size, is also discussed. A possible explanation is provided for the observed phenomenon that in a porous medium the cell size decreases as the amplitude of convection increases, whereas in a clear fluid the cell size increases.     

Correlations between porous medium flow data and turbulent tube flow results for aqueous hydroxypropylguar solutions (Part 2)

Turbulent tube flow and the flow through a porous medium of aqueous hydroxypropylguar (HPG) solutions in concentrations from 100 wppm to 5000 wppm is investigated. Taking the rheological flow curves into account reveals that the effectiveness in turbulent tube flow and the efficiency for the flow through a porous medium both start at the same onset wall shear stress of 1.3 Pa. The similarity of the curves = ( _w ) and = ( _w ), respectively, leads to a simple linear relation / =k, where the constantk or proportionality depends uponc. This offers the possibility to deduce (for turbulent tube flow) from (for flow through a porous medium). In conjunction with rheological data, will reveal whether, and if yes to what extent, drag reduction will take place (even at high concentrations).The relation of our treatment to the model-based Deborah number concept is shown and a scale-up formula for the onset in turbulent tube flow is deduced as well.     

Hydrodynamic and Thermal Fields in a Porous Medium with Injection of Superheated Steam

The plane one-dimensional and radially symmetric problems of injection of superheated steam into a porous medium saturated with gas are considered. Self-similar solutions are constructed on the assumption that in this case four zones are formed in the porous medium, namely, a gas flow zone, superheated and wet steam zones, and a water slug zone formed due to steam condensation. On the basis of the solution obtained, both the effects of the boundary pressure, mass flow rate, and temperature of the injected superheated steam and the effect of the initial state of the porous medium on the propagation of the hydrodynamic and thermal fields in the porous medium are studied.     

Model of gas-coal medium with a sorption phenomenon

Constitutive equations of a gas-coal two-phase medium with a local mass exchange due to a sorption-desorption phenomenon are presented. The equations have been deduced taking advantages of the theory of mixtures. Parameters of the constitutive equations have been calculated on the basis of results of laboratory tests published in recent papers. The governing set of equations of the theory is introduced and results of a sample calculation are presented.     

Application of an effective medium theory for modeling ultrasound wave propagation in healing long bones

Quantitative ultrasound has recently drawn significant interest in the monitoring of the bone healing process. Several research groups have studied ultrasound propagation in healing bones numerically, assuming callus to be a homogeneous and isotropic medium, thus neglecting the multiple scattering phenomena that occur due to the porous nature of callus. In this study, we model ultrasound wave propagation in healing long bones using an iterative effective medium approximation (IEMA), which has been shown to be significantly accurate for highly concentrated elastic mixtures. First, the effectiveness of IEMA in bone characterization is examined: (a) by comparing the theoretical phase velocities with experimental measurements in cancellous bone mimicking phantoms, and (b) by simulating wave propagation in complex healing bone geometries by using IEMA. The original material properties of cortical bone and callus were derived using serial scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM) images from previous animal studies. Guided wave analysis is performed for different healing stages and the results clearly indicate that IEMA predictions could provide supplementary information for bone assessment during the healing process. This methodology could potentially be applied in numerical studies dealing with wave propagation in composite media such as healing or osteoporotic bones in order to reduce the simulation time and simplify the study of complicated geometries with a significant porous nature.
