Many flow problems in environmental, technical and biological systems are characterized by a distinct interaction between a flow region in porous medium and a pipe flow region in quasi-one-dimensional hollow structures. Examples for such systems are (i)mines: Methane released from unmined coal seams migrates through the porous rocks, but also through tunnels and shafts in the mine. (ii) Landslides: A sudden water infiltration through macropores may trigger landslides. (iii)Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells: The supply of reactive gases through free-flow channels into the porous diffusion layers interacts strongly with the evacuation process of the water, which is formed at the cathode reaction layer and flows from the porous diffusion layers into the free-flow channels. (iv) Cancer therapy: Therapeutic agents are delivered via the blood vessels into the tissue, targeting the tumor cells. In this work a dual-continuum strategy, for the simulation of coupled porous media flow with lower-dimensional pipe flow will be presented. For the numerical implementation a special grid called 1D pipe network grid in a 3D porous grid is developed.

Coupling of porous media flow with pipe flow Doğan, Mehmet Onur (Eigenverlag des Instituts für Wasserbau, 2011-01-01) Many flow problems in environmental, technical and biological systems are characterizedby a distinct interaction between a flow region in porous medium and a free flow region inquasi-one-dimensional hollow structures. Examples for such systems are: Mines: Methane released from unmined coal seams migrates through the porousrocks, but also through tunnels and shafts in the mine.

Different concepts for the coupling of porous-media flow with lower-dimensional pipe flow Doğan, Mehmet Onur; Helmig, R. (2009-12-01) Many flow problems in environmental, technical and biological systems are characterized by a distinct interaction between a flow region in porous-medium and a free-flow region in quasi-one-dimensional hollow structures. In this study, different model concepts, based on a dual-continuum strategy, for the simulation of coupled porous-media flow and (lower-dimensional) pipe flow are further developed and tested. The dual-continuum concept is extended for coupling multi-phase porous-media flow with lower-dimens...
A 2-LAYER MODEL OF WATER EXCHANGE THROUGH THE DARDANELLES STRAIT OGUZ, T; SUR, HI (1989-01-01) Water exchange through the Dardanelles Strait is studied by a two-layer model which considers the laterally averaged flow formed by two homogeneous layers of differing density separated by an entraining interface. The model response is discussed in terms of observations from the strait. In particular, the observed asymmetry and rapid transition at the interface depth as weil as the intense mixing which occurs in the southwestern reaches of the strait are found to be related to the hydraulic characteristics ...
A reaction-transport-mechanical approach to modeling the interrelationships among gas generation, overpressuring, and fracturing: Implications for the Upper Cretaceous natural gas reservoirs of the Piceance basin, Colorado Payne, DF; Tuncay, Kağan; Park, A; Comer, JB; Ortoleva, P (2000-04-01) Predicting reservoir characteristics in tight-gas sandstone reservoirs, such as those of the Upper Cretaceous units of the Piceance basin, is difficult due to the interactions of multiple processes acting on sediments during basin development. To better understand the dynamics of these systems, a forward numerical model, which accounts for compaction, fracturing, hydrocarbon generation, and multiphase flow (BasinRTM) is used in a one-dimensional simulation of the U.S. Department of Energy's Multiwell Experi...
Characterization of tight-gas sand reservoirs from horizontal-well performance data using an inverse neural network Kulga, B.; Artun, E.; Ertekin, T. (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-01) Characterization of a tight-gas sand formation using data from horizontal wells at isolated locations is challenging due to the inherent heterogeneity and very low permeability characteristics of this class of resources. Furthermore, characterizing the uncontrollable hydraulic-fracture properties along the horizontal wellbore requires financially demanding and time-consuming operations. In this study, a reservoir characterization model for tight-gas sand reservoirs is developed and tested. The model describ...
