“…Inertial effects act at a highly local scope, influencing both the flow resistance and the heat exchange for higher Reynolds numbers. Of course, this needs further attention and network models including inertia terms such as described in Balhoff and Wheeler (2009), Veyskarami et al (2017) should be considered in future work.…”

We present a dual network model to simulate coupled single-phase flow and energy transport in porous media including conditions under which local thermal equilibrium cannot be assumed. The models target applications such as the simulation of catalytic reactors, micro-fluidic experiments, or micro-cooling devices. The new technique is based on a recently developed algorithm that extracts both the pore space and the solid grain matrix of a porous medium from CT images into an interconnected network representation. We simulate coupled heat and mass transfer in these networks simultaneously, allowing naturally to model scenarios with heterogeneous temperature distributions in both void space and solid matrix. The model is compared with 3D conjugate heat transfer simulations for both conduction- and convection-dominated scenarios. It is shown to reproduce effective thermal conductivities over a wide range of fluid to solid thermal conductivity ratios with a single parameter set. Morevoer, it captures local thermal nonequilibrium effects in a micro-cooling device scenario.

“…Porosity is defined as the ratio of the volume of voids to the total volume of materials (Ahmed 2006b). Permeability is the capacity of a material to transport fluids (Veyskarami et al 2016(Veyskarami et al ,2017. The reduction in porosity and permeability is the unwanted effect of chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents.…”

Sand or fine is a typical product in many processing of oil production from unconsolidated and weakly consolidated formations. High variation of in situ stress, fluid production rate above maximum sand-free rate, and water production are main primary sources of the sand production. Sand production can cause hazardous operational problems to the facilities, pipes, and wellbore. Hence, it is a significant problem that requires to be managed and studied. To minimize the operational impacts of particle migration, chemical consolidators/stabilizers can be utilized to alter surface properties of sand and formation particles. The decreasing zeta potential besides increasing the cohesion between sand and formation particles could result in controlled sand production. However, understanding the mechanism and application of chemical methods to alleviate sand production is not well-discussed. This study presents and discusses chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents, which may be applied for managing sand production in the petroleum industry. This was achieved through a comprehension review of the literature and the application of chemical consolidators/stabilizers in other fields such as bauxite residue (red mud and red sand) control, desert sand, mine reclamation, wind erosion control, unpaved road modification, and enhancement of water retention and soil infiltration properties that are similar to formation sand. Standard experimental methods in various fields, for performance analysis of chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents, are compared and summarized. The consolidation/stabilization mechanisms of various types of chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents are discussed and compared. This review potentially can be used to inhibit blind usage of chemicals and functions as a reference to additional research in sand production control in petroleum engineering. The results are appropriate for extending quantitative approaches for performance evaluation of sand consolidator/stabilizer agents.
