Investigation Of Transpiration Cooling With Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium Model: Effects Of Different Thermal Boundary Conditions At The Porous-Fluid Interface, Zheng Huang, Yin-Hai Zhu, Pei-Xue Jiang, Yan-Bin Xiong

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

In this study, the main stream coupled with a porous medium with local thermal non-equilibrium assumption is analyzed. The flow inside the porous material is modelled using the Darcy–Brinkman–Forchheimer equation and the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved for the main stream. Several couple conditions between the main flow temperature and the temperatures of the solid matrix and coolant flow at the fluid/porous interface is calculated. The results show that the Model C assumes the main flow temperature equals the solid phase temperature and the main flow heat flux is all imposed on the solid phase gives the most reasonable answer.

Effective Permeability Upscaling From Heterogenous To Homogenous Porous Media, Mehmet Cicek, Deepak Devegowda, Faruk Civan, Richard Sigal

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

An effective method to upscale permeability is presented to represent a heterogeneous reservoir with homogeneous permeability and porosity values. As a result, there is no need to deal with dual-porosity or dual-permeability models in reservoir simulations. Thus, the required CPU time for reservoir production and flow simulations is reduced significantly.

Modified Rhie-Chow / Piso Algorithm For Collocated Variable Finite Porous Media Flow Solvers, Markus Nordlund

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

A modified Rhie-Chow/ PISO segregated algorithm is proposed, whic by construction avoids the development of spurious oscillations in the solution fields for low Mach number flow in heterogeneous, isotropic porous media. The collocated variable finite volume based algorithm modifies the commonly used Rhie-Chow interpolation to maintain a strong pressure-velocity coupling when large discontinuous implicit momentum sources are present. This Redistributed Resistivity PISO algorithm is based on a redistribution of the flow resistivity over the neighboring grid cells to the discontinuity. The proposed algorithm is successfully verified against published data for the velocity and pressure for two cases. The robustness of …

Pressure Transient Characteristics Of Multi-Stage Fractured Horizontal Wells In Shale Gas Reservoirs With Consideration Of Multiple Mechanisms, Jingjing Guo, Liehui Zhang, Haitao Wang

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

The approach of multi-stage fractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) has been proven an efficient technology for successful development of shale gas reservoirs. Together with multiple gas flow mechanisms, the existence of multiple hydraulic fractures further complicates the gas flowing problem in shale gas reservoirs. Understanding pressure transient dynamics of MFHWs in shale gas reservoirs is of great importance to provide a perception into long-term pressure dynamics forecast as well as to estimate relevant reservoir and fracturing parameters. This paper presents a comprehensive seepage model to investigate the characteristics of pressure transient responses of a horizontal well intercepted by multiple finitely conductive …

Turbulence In Porous Media: Some Fundamental Questions Addressed By Dns Solutions, Marc Florian Uth, Y. Jin, A. V. Kuznetsov, H. Herwig

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

In a generic porous matrix built by a large number of rectangular bars the flow is determined numerically by a DNS approach. Turbulent flow is thus simulated avoiding modelling in order to decide whether turbulent structures with scales much larger than the pore scale exist. So far only under-resolved DNS solutions are determined from which, however, definite conclusions with respect to the maximum turbulent length scale can be drawn.

Numerical Solutions Of Non-Linear Fractional Transport Models In Unconventional Hydrocarbon Reservoirs Using Variational Iteration Method, Nadeen Malik, Iftikhar Ali, Bilal Chanane

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

Unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs, such as, shale gas deposits, offer a new source of energy resources. These reservoirs consist of tight porous rocks which are characterized by nano-scale size porous networks with ultra-low permeability. The mathematical modeling of phenomena through such tight porous media provides its own challenges. In this study, we consider a relatively new approach by modeling the transport of gas by the time-fractional advection-diffusion equation,

Wall Thickness Optimization Of A Transpiration-Cooled Sharp Leading Edge At Atmospheric Re-Entry, Christian Dittert

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

The purpose of this paper is to find the necessary cooling mass flow for a defined wall thickness distribution, which allows a selective cooling for an acceptable temperature range of the sharp leading edge of an atmospheric re-entry vehicle. Due to the angle of attack during the re-entry flight the pressure at the top side is lower than the pressure at the bottom side. However, the highest heat load occurs at the stagnation point at which also the maximum pressure is effective. The efficiency of a transpiration cooling depends on the mass flow rate of the coolant. The cooling mass …

Comparison Of Volume-Average Simulation And Pore-Scale Simulation Of Thermal Radiation And Natural Convection In High Temperature Packed Beds, Le Zhang, Ruina Xu, Peixue Jiang

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

The phenomenon of natural convection and thermal radiation heat transfer in fluid-saturated high temperature packed beds has been widely studied due to its various applications ranging from solar collectors to high temperature gas cooled reactor. With the local thermal non-equilibrium model, the majority of the numerical simulation studies on natural convection and radiation heat transfer in fluid-saturated porous media have limits. In these studies the internal heat transfer coefficients have always been calculated as the existing formulas, which were obtained by the experiments of forced convection in porous media [1-2]. However, natural convection heat transfer in porous media is dominated …

Three Dimensional Heat And Mass Transfer In Capillary Evaporator, Laetitia Mottet, Typhaine Coquard, Marc Prat

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

Heat and mass transfer inside the porous wick of a capillary evaporator is studied using a mixed porenetwork model. The impact of the thermal conductivity of the wick on the overheating limit (defined as the difference between the maximum temperature at the top of the metallic casing and the saturated temperature), breakthrough (which occurs when the vapor reaches the wick inlet) and the parasitic heat flux lost by conduction at the entrance of the wick (which decreases the efficiency of the evaporator) is investigated. The study suggests a bilayer wick as a possible better design to optimize the performance of …

Onset Of Double Diffusive Reaction-Convection In An Anisotropic Porous Layer With Internal Heat Source, S.N. Gaikwad, M. Dhanraj

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

The effect of internal heat source on the onset of double diffusive reaction-convection in an anisotropic porous layer subjected to chemical equilibrium on the boundaries is investigated analytically using linear stability analyses. The linear analysis is based on the usual normal mode method. The Darcy model is employed for the momentum equation. The effect of internal Rayleigh number, Damkohler number, mechanical anisotropy parameter and thermal anisotropy parameter on the stationary and oscillatory convection is shown graphically. It is found that the effect of internal Rayleigh number and mechanical anisotropy parameter have destabilizing effect, while the thermal anisotropy parameter has stabilizing …

Manufacture Of Silicide Coatings For The Protection Of Niobium Alloys Against High Temperature Oxidation, M. Vilasi, S. Matheieu, S. Knittel, L. Portebois, T. Katrina, C. Rapin, C. Petitjean, P. J. Panteix, S. Drawin

Thermal Barrier Coatings IV

At the moment, silicide coatings provide the best protection against high temperature oxidation for niobium alloys. These are envisaged for replacing nickel base alloys currently used in the hot section of turbo-engines. Silicides confer higher protectiveness to Nb base system when compared to the environmental resistance presented by Nb alloys coated with aluminides. One major advantage of silicides is probably the great number of possibilities for modifying their composition as well as their crystallographic structure. Thus, many elemental substitutions were performed over the past 20 years in order to optimize their performances in terms of oxidation resistance. The works performed …

Lifetime Of Environmental/Thermal Barrier Coatings Deposited On An Nb/Nb5si3- Based Alloy With Feb-Modified M7si6-Based Bond Coat, Reinhold Braun, Annika Lange, Uwe Schulz, Leo Portebois, Stephane Mathieu, Michael Vilasi, Stefan Drawin

Thermal Barrier Coatings IV

To enhance the performance of aircraft engines, high temperature materials are required being capable to operate at temperatures significantly higher than the temperature limit of about 1150°C approached for Ni-based superalloys currently employed. Nb/Nb5Si3-based composites are promising candidates for turbine engine applications at temperatures up to 1300°C, exhibiting balanced mechanical properties and reduced density compared to Ni-based superalloys [1]. To use these composites in gas turbine combustion atmosphere, environmental/thermal barrier coatings (E/TBCs) are required to protect them against heat, degradation in flowing water vapour and chemical attack of calcium-magnesium-alumino-silicate (CMAS).

Thermal Barrier Coatings IV

Thermal barrier coatings based on yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) have reached a state in development, where a further increase in lifetime and/or maximum operating temperature has become more and more difficult. Nevertheless, the demand for even higher operating temperatures is persisting, and it is pushing the YSZ-based thermal barrier coatings to and beyond their limit. Especially phase instabilities of YSZ at temperatures above 1200°C lead to a fast deterioration of the ceramic top coating. Consequently, the search for new materials with low thermal conductivity, relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion and phase stability at temperatures well above 1200°C was started, …

Keynote Talk – Novel Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement In Channels And Tubes Filled With Nanofluid-Saturated Metal Foams, Fumika Sakai, Wenhao Li, Akira Nakayama

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

A local thermal non-equilibrium theory was exploited to investigate heat transfer in nanofluid saturated porous media, in view of possible heat transfer applications of metal foams filled with nanofluids as high performance heat exchangers. The resulting set of the macroscopic equations based on the modified Buongiorno model proposed by Yan et al. for convective heat transfer in nanofluids were used to obtain the analytical solutions for laminar fully developed forced convection in channels and tubes filled with nanofluid saturated metal foams. The analytical and numerical solutions were obtained for laminar fully developed forced convection in channels and tubes filled with …

Development Of A Mobile High Shear Colloidal Grout Pump For The Construction Industry, John Kijak, David Kennedy

Conference Papers

The aim of this project was to design and develop a group pump and solve associated technical issues for a construction company in Ireland. The design is based on a high shear colloidal group mixing and pumping rig. The initial machine has failed in terms of bearing and seal performance, has high manufacturing costs and is poorly designed.

To account for these issues, extensive research of the design features of grout mixing units from various competitors and suppliers was carried out by research and field studies at trade fairs. Using the information gathered, and incorporating improvements into the existing design, …

Effect Of Variable Porosity On Composite Heat Transfer In A Boundary Layer Flow, Puttabasavsetty Nagaraju

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

The effects of variable porosity and variable thermal conductivity of the medium and also the emission, absorption and scattering of radiation are studied in this paper. The comparative study has been made for three different situations, namely a) variable porosity b) constant porosity and c) absence of porous medium.In carrying out the solution, the momentum and energy equations are coupled and they are solved simultaneously by Runge-Kutta Gill method in conjunction with Newton-Raphson iterative scheme. The results of the analyses show that, in the cases of variable porosity and absence of porous medium the velocity profiles possess very small curvature …

Mri Evidence Of Nanoparticles Migration In Drying Porous Media, Emmanuel Keita, Pamela Faure, Stephane Rodts, Phillippe Coussot

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

Due to the migration of elements they induce imbibition-drying cycles are known to play a major role in the colloid-facilitated transport in many industrials process, for instance for pollutants migration in soils or pores clogging in building materials. We study the drying of a colloidal suspension in a porous media. The critical physical phenomenon at work here is the displacement and redistribution of colloidal particles induced by evaporation of the liquid phase from the porous medium. This can be clearly seen by filling a bead packing with coffee. Indeed after full drying the sample has shaded tones with darker regions …

Phase Change With Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium In A Two-Phase Mixture Model, Franz Lindner, Michael Pfitzner, Christian Mundt

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

CFD solutions of multi-phase, single-component flow through a vertical channel, filled with a porous medium, heated from one side, are shown. Steady-state solutions are presented for Darcian flow through capillary porous media. Local thermal non- equilibrium is used with a two-phase mixture. The effects of variation of Peclet-number and dimensionless heat input are shown. The displacement effect of the super-heated vapor reduces the free cross-section of flow of the liquid fluid and accelerates the liquid fluid flowing past the evaporation front. The temperatures, liquid saturations, liquid and vapor heat transfer coefficients are shown for cases with super-heated vapor.

Effects Of Non-Darcy Flow And Pore Proximity On Gas Condensate Production From Nanopore Unconventional Resources, Alireza Sanaei, Ahmad Jamili, Jeffrey Callard

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

Transport properties and mechanisms as well as phase behavior under nanoscale confinement exhibit significant deviations from their bulk behavior. Phase behavior due to the significant effect of molecule-wall interactions as well as molecule-molecule interactions changes in nanopores. Additionally, in nanopores, when the mean free path of molecules is in the order of the pore radius, non-Darcy flow occurs. This phenomenon causes an increase in effective permeability of the flowing fluid. In this study, we focus on analyzing and determining the effect of phase behavior and transport properties change due to pore proximity on production from a shale gas condensate reservoir. …

Performance Comparison Of The Finite-Difference, Practical-Finite-Analytic, Differential-Quadrature, And Differential-Cubature Methods For Solving Porous Media Immiscible Fluids Transport, Faruk Civan

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

Reviews and comparisons of the finite-difference, differential-quadrature, differential-cubature, finite-analytic, and practical-finite-analytic methods are presented. Numerical solution of immiscible fluids transport in porous media are illustrated. The cubature and practical finite-analytic methods are shown to have apparent advantages over the other methods because the numerical solution schemes are derived directly from the specific problems of interest.

A Simplified Model For Transport In Aquifers, Robert Mckibbin, Amjad Ali, Winston Sweatman

5th International Conference on Porous Media and Their Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry

Chemicals that are dissolved in groundwater flow along with the slow-moving water as it makes its way through the complex pores of the aquifer; during this process they are dispersed in different directions. The rate of dispersion depends on the porous structure and the fluid speed. Many groundwater aquifers have a natural layered structure; here this is used to advantage by discretizing them into "almost horizontal" layers, where each may have different matrix properties such as thickness, permeability, dispersivity, porosity, etc. The mean dynamic pressure (or mean hydraulic head) may be assumed constant vertically at each horizontal point if it …
