The free-boundary problem at the pore scale is modeled using a diffuse interface approach in the form of a coupled Allen–Cahn Navier–Stokes system with an additional momentum flux due to surface tension forces. Using periodic homogenization and formal asymptotic expansions, a two-scale model with cell problems for phase evolution and velocity contributions is derived. We investigate the computed effective parameters and their relation to the saturation for different fluid distributions, in comparison to commonly used relative permeability saturation curves. The two-scale model yields non-monotone relations for relative permeability and saturation. The strong dependence on local fluid distribution and effects captured by the cell problems highlights the importance of incorporating pore-scale information into the macro-scale equations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"151 9","pages":"1849 - 1886"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11242-024-02097-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141527317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the dispersion of the nanofiller in the polymer matrix leads to complexified nanocomposite materials whose barrier properties are altered resulting in a tortuous pathway for the transport of current, matter, and velocity. The tortuosity of these nanocomposite materials, which depends on their porosity organization, is a parameter usually challenging to quantify accurately. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a method to quantify the electrical tortuosity and to develop a theoretical model to accurately predict electrical tortuosity in these in-house prepared silica powder and nanocomposite membrane materials at different porosity ranges. The SBA-15 silica powder and nanocomposite membranes’ conductivity was measured with the help of impedance spectroscopy in a 1 M sodium chloride electrolyte solution from which the electrical tortuosity is quantified. The calculated tortuosity of SBA-15 silica powder was found to be well correlated to the entire range of its porosity. The plots of the tortuosity versus porosity from the Maxwell and the modified Maxwell models showed a well-fitted curve to the entire range of porosity. These theoretical models will help to give a perfect prediction of the electrical tortuosity of materials from porosity measurements, which would be a vital technique to characterize materials used in electrochemical devices and battery technology.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"151 9","pages":"1811 - 1824"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141343111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we treat displacing and displaced fluids as two separate fluid phases and invoke Whitman’s classical two-film theory to model mass transfer between the two phases. We use experimental data from Gramling’s bimolecular reaction experiment to assess model performance. Gramling’s original model involved just three coupled PDEs. In this context, our new formulation leads to a set of seven coupled PDEs but only requires the specification of two extra parameters, associated with the mass transfer coefficient and its dependence on time. The two film mass transfer model provides a simple and theoretically based method for separating mixing from dispersion in Eulerian continuum-scale methods. The advantage of this approach over existing methods is that it enables the simulation of equilibrium chemical reactions without having to invoke unrealistically small reaction rate coefficients. The comparison with Gramling’s experimental data confirms that our proposed method is suitable for simulating realistic and complicated bimolecular reaction behaviour.

This gains more significance when more than two immiscible fluids are involved, attributable to capillary and viscous drag forces. Such a coupled hydromechanical behavior associated with immiscible fluid flows plays an important role in injection, storage, and recovery of fluids in deformable porous media. This study presents a dimensionless map with newly proposed dimensionless parameters to predict deformation occurrence due to an immiscible fluid flow in deformable porous media. A series of hydromechanically coupled pore network simulations are first performed while varying the capillary number, mobility ratio, medium stiffness, and effective confining stress over orders of magnitudes. The compilation of simulation results with previously published Hele–Shaw experiment results is analyzed with the dimensionless parameters, such as the capillary number, mobility ratio, particle-level force ratios, and particle-level pressure ratios. Particularly, the particle-level pressure ratios include the capillary pressure ratio, defined as the ratio of capillary pressure to fracture pressure, and the viscous drag pressure, defined as the ratio of viscous drag pressure to fracture pressure. The dimensionless map based on the particle-level pressure ratios, where the capillary pressure ratio and viscous drag pressure ratio are defined as the ratios of capillary pressure and viscous drag pressure to fracture pressure, effectively delineates four deformation regimes—no deformation, capillary-induced deformation, drag-driven deformation, and mixed-mode deformation. The results demonstrate that capillary-induced deformation occurs when the capillary pressure ratio is greater than 10⁻¹, while drag-driven deformation is observed when the viscous drag pressure ratio exceeds 10⁻². The presented dimensionless map and dimensionless parameters are expected to be applicable for geological subsurface processes, including geological storage of carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and enhanced oil recovery.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":804,"journal":{"name":"Transport in Porous Media","volume":"151 8","pages":"1665 - 1685"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11242-024-02089-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141121453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a recent study, a Variable Bead Width Porous Filling (VBWPF) strategy was proposed, which generates pores by changing the printing speed during filament deposition and resulting in a unique porous structure with less pore interconnectivity. Specific pores’ dimensions and distribution on the layer can be obtained with the strategy’s parameters. In this work, different configurations of the VBWPF strategy were produced, and their porosity and permeability were measured experimentally. A PM with traditional raster filling (lattice structure) was also printed and measured for comparison. The porous structures of different VBWPF configurations were analyzed with micro-computed tomography (µCT). The results showed that VBWPF parameters were able to modify the porous structure obtained, changing the porosity and permeability of the PM. The PM produced exhibited 27% lower porosity and 55% lower permeability than the traditional raster filling PM with similar pore widths.
