Numerical Simulation Using Finite-Difference Schemes with Continuous Symmetries for Processes of Gas Flow in Porous Media

Abstract

This article presents the applications of continuous symmetry groups to the computational fluid dynamics simulation of gas flow in porous media. The family of equations for one-phase flow in porous media, such as equations of gas flow with the Klinkenberg effect, is considered. This consideration has been made in terms of difference scheme constructions with the preservation of continuous symmetries, which are presented in original parabolic differential equations. A new method of numerical solution generation using continuous symmetry groups has been developed for the equation of gas flow in porous media. Four classes of invariant difference schemes have been found by using known group classifications of parabolic differential equations with partial derivatives. Invariance of necessary conditions for stability has been shown for the difference schemes from the presented classes. Comparison with the classical approach for seeking numerical solutions for a particular case from the presented classes has shown that the calculation speed is greater by several orders than for the classical approach. Analysis of the accuracy for the presented method of numerical solution generation on the basis of continuous symmetries shows that the accuracy of generated numerical solutions depends on the accuracy of initial solutions for generations.

Pursuit of hidden rules behind the irregularity of nano capillary lithography by hybrid intelligence

“…Here is the gas-phase permeability of the media under a high pressure, is the pressure, and is the Klinkenberg factor which depends on the pore structure and gas temperature. Many attempted to incorporate the Klinkenberg effect into the gas flow in porous media via analytical approach 23 , computational scheme 24 , and kinetic theory 25 . All of the prior research offers valuable insights and knowledge.…”

Tackling Multi-Physics Nano-Scale Phenomena in Capillary Force Lithography with Small Data by Hybrid Intelligence

“…Several research studies have been carried out in this sphere to explain the capillary behavior in nanochannels [7][8][9][10]. One intriguing phenomenon investigated is the Klingenberg effect [11] and its incorporation in gas flow through porous media [12][13][14]. One of the most recent advances involved discovering the hidden rules that explain the sudden jump phenomenon, with gas diffusivity, dynamic viscosity, and surface tension identified as the previously obscure physical principles governing this phenomenon [15].…”
