Fluid flow models

In the fluid flow model, simulation is based on Darcy s law for the steady flow of Newtonian fluids through porous media. This law states that the average...

The coupled precipitation kinetics-fluid flow model was applied to the distribution of Si02 content and K2O content of the hydrothermally altered andesite in the Hishikari Au-Ag mine area, south Kyushu, Japan by Shikazono et al. (2002). This will be described in section 1.4.6.

Well-defined stable isotope profiles may be used to provide quantitative information on fluid fluxes such as the direction of fluid flow and the duration of infiltration events (Baumgarmer and Rumble 1988 Bickle and Baker 1990 Cartwright and Valley 1991 Dipple and Ferry 1992 Baumgartner and Valley 2001). In well constrained situations, fluid flow modeling permits estimation of fluid fluxes that are far more realistic than fluid/rock ratios calculated from a zero-dimensional model.

Surprises in the reservoir description should be regarded as normal in EOR applications however, we can do a far better job of anticipating by adopting an integrated approach to reservoir simulation based on geology, statistics and fluid flow modeling known as conditional simulation. 

Two parent body models have been proposed to explain the oxygen isotopic composition of carbonates in CM chondrites (i) a closed system, two reservoir model (Clayton and Mayeda, 1984, 1999) and (ii) a fluid-flow model (Young et al., 1999 Young, 2001 Cohen and Coker, 2000). Current oxygen-isotopic data are generally most consistent with the closed-system model, but can also be reconciled with the fluid-flow model if the CM chondrites sample a restricted region of the CM asteroid (Benedix et al., 2003), just downstream of the model alteration front proposed by Young (2001).

Step 1 It is easy to add the convective diffusion equation by starting with the fluid flow model of the T-sensor. Choose Multiphysics/Model Navigator. A window appears with a hst of possible equations. Scroll down and select Chemical Engineering Module/Mass Balance/Convection and Diffusion/Steady-state Analysis. Click Add. Now FEMLAB will solve both equations. 

Fluid flow modelling was performed assuming two-phase flow (petroleum and water) based on the Darcy flow equation. This simplification is assumed valid as the petroleum phase encountered in Snorre field is undersaturated. 

The most recent computations of chemical reaction paths couple chemical kinetics, path calculations, and fluid flow models. This can be accomplished by alternating between fluid flow and reaction path calculations in small time steps, with reaction kinetics included as we have described above. Several examples of this type are summarized by Brimhall and Crerar (1987, pp. 302-306). With this kind of approach it should ultimately become possible to model the detailed physical and chemical evolution of quite complex natural mineral systems. With inclusion of three-dimensional space as well as temperature and pressure gradients, there are challenges for the foreseeable future. 

Fluid flow models, where a simple fluid mechanical model is constructed by dividing the reactor into different zones of macro- and micromixing this is clearly an extension of the compartment models of macromixing but zones of micromixedness are added. 

The main differences between mobile and fixed types of carriers (see refs. 33, 37, 53, 60-63) have been well summarised in the context of electron and hydrogen transport through the respiratory chain by Chance et They compared the current flow and fluid flow models of Holton and Lunde-gardh with the normal kinetic oxido-reduction model, and pointed out that the latter consists of a series of bimolecular reactions, while the former is equivalent to a unimolecular process. Hence, in the fixed carrier model there is effectively a single chemical channel, whereas in the bimolecular or circulating mobile carrier model there are two chemical channels. 

The application of suitable models to various systems must be determined on a case-by-case basis. This could be judged from the behavior of experimental mass transfer coefficient with respect to the contact time of two phases. For dynamic systems, the penetration model is physically more realistic than the stagnant film model. Flowever, the mixing in different phases is important to describe the overall mass transfer performance, and, therefore, the above models are usually combined with fluid flow models, which includes detailed flow description. 

Clearly there is no theoretical limit to the complexity of the reactions that might be considered in this way. In addition, it is quite possible to couple this type of calculation with other types, such as fluid flow, heat flow, pressure changes, diffusion, permeability changes, deformation, and so on, because these other model calculations also are carried out iteratively in a large series of small steps. Thus, for example, after carrying out a Af step in a reaction path model, we could then take a small step in a heat flow model, then a small step in a fluid flow model, and then return to the reaction model, and so on. The heat...
