H23D:
Hydrocarbon Multiphase, Multiscale Flow, and Transport Characterization in Porous Media: Theoretical, Numerical, and Experimental Advances II Posters


Session ID#: 7607

Session Description:
This session works toward integrating scientific community to share their progress and challenges in subsurface flow and transport studies from pore to field scale. These phenomena provide the fundamental platform for extraction of hydrocarbon resources and CO2 storage in geological formations, and play a critical rule in maintaining and protecting water resources. The main goal is to address unresolved problems in computational methods, experiments and visualization to advance our knowledge of the physics and chemistry of pore scale phenomena from nano to meso scale and demonstrate their significance for large-scale flow and transport in porous media. Exemplar problems of interest include but are not limited to: direct numerical simulations, multiphase flow, pore network models, flow through nano scale pores in shale, evaluating petrophysical properties, non-Newtonian flow, solute/contaminant transport, reactive transport, EOR in conventional and unconventional plays, pore scale imaging, visualization and characterization, MRI/PIV techniques for flow visualization in porous media.
