Numerical investigation of dynamic capillary pressure in two-phase flow in porous medium

Radek Fučík, Jiří Mikyška (2011)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

In order to investigate effects of the dynamic capillary pressure-saturation relationship used in the modelling of a flow in porous media, a one-dimensional fully implicit numerical scheme is proposed. The numerical scheme is used to simulate an experimental procedure using a measured dataset for the sand and fluid properties. Results of simulations using different models for the dynamic effect term in capillary pressure-saturation relationship are presented and discussed.

Mathematical analysis of a discrete fracture model coupling Darcy flow in the matrix with Darcy–Forchheimer flow in the fracture

Peter Knabner, Jean E. Roberts (2014)

Similarity:

We consider a model for flow in a porous medium with a fracture in which the flow in the fracture is governed by the Darcy−Forchheimerlaw while that in the surrounding matrix is governed by Darcy’s law. We give an appropriate mixed, variational formulation and show existence and uniqueness of the solution. To show existence we give an analogous formulation for the model in which the Darcy−Forchheimerlaw is the governing equation throughout the domain. We show existence and uniqueness...

Simulation of the Three-Dimensional Flow of Blood Using a Shear-Thinning Viscoelastic Fluid Model

T. Bodnár, K.R. Rajagopal, A. Sequeira (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the numerical simulation of a thermodynamically compatible viscoelastic shear-thinning fluid model, particularly well suited to describe the rheological response of blood, under physiological conditions. Numerical simulations are performed in two idealized three-dimensional geometries, a stenosis and a curved vessel, to investigate the combined effects of flow inertia, viscosity and viscoelasticity in these...

Mathematical modeling of hygro-thermal processes in deformed porous media

Beneš, Michal, Krupička, Lukáš

Similarity:

In this contribution we propose a model of coupled heat and moisture transport in variable saturated deformed porous media. Solution of this model provides temperature, moisture content and strain as a function of space and time. We present the detailed description of the model and a~numerical illustrative example.

Involutive formulation and simulation for electroneutral microfluids

Bijan Mohammadi, Jukka Tuomela (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

We study a microfluidic flow model where the movement of several charged species is coupled with electric field and the motion of ambient fluid. The main numerical difficulty in this model is the net charge neutrality assumption which makes the system essentially overdetermined. Hence we propose to use the involutive and the associated augmented form of the system in numerical computations. Numerical experiments on electrophoresis and stacking show that the completed system significantly...

Numerical Modeling of the Stream Dynamics for River Channels with Complex Spatial Configuration

V. A. Shlychkov (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Mathematical modeling provides a particularly important tool for studying the stream runoff formation processes, and its role is enhanced in the case of a sparse, obsolete monitoring network characteristic of most regions of Siberia. When analyzing spatio-temporal regularities of the water and sediment runoff in river systems, serious problems are caused by lack of the basic hydrological model capable of handling real-time data of hydrological measurements.

A reduced model for Darcy’s problem in networks of fractures

Luca Formaggia, Alessio Fumagalli, Anna Scotti, Paolo Ruffo (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

Subsurface flows are influenced by the presence of faults and large fractures which act as preferential paths or barriers for the flow. In literature models were proposed to handle fractures in a porous medium as objects of codimension 1. In this work we consider the case of a network of intersecting fractures, with the aim of deriving physically consistent and effective interface conditions to impose at the intersection between fractures. This new model accounts for the angle between...
