SCALE-COUPLED MULTISCALE MODEL SIMULATION

摘要

Overlapping pores in a multiscale model of heterogeneous core formation contributes errors during flow simulations. A scale-coupled multiscale modeling that corrects for contributions of overlapping pores may be used to determine capillary pressure and relative permeability of the heterogenous core formation more accurately. The effects of overlapping pores may be removed by converting pores that have a certain radius or are filled with certain fluids into solid regions. The effects of overlapping pores may also be removed by running flow simulations on a modified model and correcting various fluid properties of the core formation with the results.
