By focusing on the mechanisms that lead to liquid loading, often triggered by encroaching formation water, the model offers a novel approach to managing subsurface multiphase flow. The IAM integrates key components of inflow performance (IPR), tubing performance (TPR), aquifer and material balance equations within a pseudo-transient framework to simulate the well’s response to water-induced liquid accumulation. An advanced mechanistic multiphase wellbore model monitors important parameters such as liquid holdup, mixture density, flow regime transitions, and dimensionless Reynolds (Re) and Weber (We) numbers. The pseudo-transient nodal analysis iteratively updates these properties, allowing the model to capture the transient behavior in the presence of aquifer drive. The Firefly metaheuristic algorithm is employed to optimize system performance by identifying the equilibrium point at the bottomhole. The model reveals that slug flow at the bottomhole is a strong indicator of incipient liquid loading, thereby facilitating earlier detection and intervention. This approach enhances both the detection and prediction of liquid loading, improving water control strategies, gas lift planning, and production scheduling. Sensitivity analysis further shows that aquifer volume, compressibility, and productivity index (J) significantly promotes liquid accumulation. By accurately simulating the onset and behavior of liquid loading under aquifer support, this work contributes a valuable tool for proactive water management, optimized deliquification planning, and sustained well productivity in gas fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7614,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Water Resources","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 105141"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145261764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding and predicting their two-phase flow properties are crucial to underground applications including contamination remediation, oil and gas recovery, and geological storage of carbon dioxide. For a multiscale digital rock, pores with a wide pore-size distribution spanning several orders of magnitude cannot be visualized in one image, due to the trade-off between image resolution and field of view. However, a large number of unresolved pores (i.e. microporosity) can challenge the modeling of flow and transport. We develop an efficient pore-network-continuum model (PNCM) for quasi-static two-phase flow in multiscale digital rocks. The resolved pores and microporosity are represented by a pore network and continuum grids, respectively. Instead of costly CT-based characterization, we propose to use the bimodal van Genuchten model of mercury intrusion capillary pressure to infer the pore-size distribution of heterogeneous microporosity. The PNCM is applied to a laminated sandstone with synthesized homogeneous microporosity and an Estaillades carbonate rock with heterogeneous microporosity. Both single-phase and two-phase flow properties including absolute permeability, formation factor, resistivity index, capillary pressure, and relative permeability are predicted and compared with experimental data. The good agreement demonstrates the robustness and reliability of the developed PNCM. Using the case studies, we illustrate how microporosity influences and determines two-phase flow properties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7614,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Water Resources","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 105138"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145261762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate estimation is crucial for assessing flood magnitude, predicting ecological habitats, estimating sediment transport, and analyzing river morphodynamics. However, natural gravel beds exhibit complex three-dimensional organization, shaped by continuous processes of transport, deposition, and sediment reworking during flow events. This study investigates bed roughness behavior under sediment supply suppression in gravel-bed channels, assessing its variation with flow conditions and sediment dynamics. Experiments were conducted in a 10 m-long, 0.6 m-wide rectangular flume with a mobile bed, divided into two phases. In Phase 1, a morphologically stable bed configuration was established, achieving equilibrium and consistent sediment transport under a given discharge. Preliminary bed stabilization proved essential, as material adjustment and fine sediment infilling significantly influenced hydraulic response. In Phase 2, the hydraulic roughness of the stabilized bed was evaluated. Results showed that flow resistance decreases with increasing relative submergence, whereas low-flow and low-submergence conditions led to higher roughness due to bed microtopography and armoring layer development. Empirical equations underestimated resistance under high relative roughness, indicating the need for more specific formulations. Importantly, this is among the first experimental studies addressing bed roughness processes for a Brazilian mountainous river, providing novel insights for similar environments. The study also confirmed classical sediment transport concepts, such as grain-size sorting, armoring formation, and a critical discharge threshold for sediment mobilization.

Although changes in flow properties due to CO₂ injection have received attention, the impact of compressed air injection-induced geochemical reactions on flow properties has been overlooked. This study presents a series of controlled experiments with different reaction conditions to reveal the effects of pore-scale mechanisms of geochemical reactions on pore structure and flow properties. Although air injection enhanced the oxidation potential of the brine, oxidation reactions were limited due to the absence of oxidation-sensitive minerals. Integrated analyses of fluid chemistry, mineralogical characterization, and kinetic reaction modeling indicated that albite dissolution was the primary process governing rock property alteration. Albite dissolution occurring in pores and throats drives pore structure evolution and interconnects isolated pores, thereby leading to a significant increase in the total and connected porosity. As a result, an increase in permeability was observed. The brine percolating through the larger pores initiates the albite dissolution, further widens the seepage pathways and enhances the fluid flow. Ultimately, a quantitative relationship between permeability and porosity influenced by geochemical reactions was established. This study highlights the significance of geochemical reactions in compressed air energy storage in aquifer and provides essential theoretical insights for future numerical simulations and commercial exploitation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7614,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Water Resources","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 105134"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145263656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this knowledge gap by systematically examining the influence of Froude numbers (<em>Fr</em> = 0.12-0.21) on secondary flow structures in sharply curved channels through high-resolution flume experiments and numerical simulations. Results reveal that even slight variations in Froude number can markedly alter vortex dynamics and secondary flow complexity, underscoring a delicate balance between inertial and turbulent forces. In particular, the stability of S2-type secondary flows depends on the precise alignment of advective, centrifugal, and turbulence-induced vorticity. Minor shifts in inertial forcing can rapidly destabilize S2, leading to significant changes in velocity distributions. Additionally, a time or spatial lag between the onset of secondary circulation and the point of maximum velocity inversion points to a dynamic, two-way feedback between the secondary flow and the main flow, evolving from robust vortex growth at lower <em>Fr</em> to flow decay at higher <em>Fr</em>.
