Computational analysis of fluid flow in 2D&3D pore geometry
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The motivation of this dissertation is to improve understanding of the geometrical parameters controlling flow properties and to develop toolkits to assist in this task in order to further advance Digital Rock Physics. With digital 2-D or 3-D images we can now investigate rock geometry thoroughly. Geometrical parameters such as cross-section geometry, tortuosity, pore size distribution, and grain size distribution will be discussed in detail in each chapter. Then, combining the knowledge of cross-section geometry and tortuosity, I show that the pore size distribution is the missing parameter crucial for accurately predicting permeability in porous media and I derive the revised Kozeny-Carman equation. Furthermore, the growing number of digital microstructures makes data analysis via machine learning possible. I will also discuss how to employ Machine Learning in Digital Rock Physics on permeability prediction from digital microstructures. These various approaches are designed to advance our fundamental understanding of rock geometry, and to determine the topological factors that are most relevant to the geophysical properties that we wish to simulate.
