Active topics of research include the development of pore scale and hybrid, or multiple continua, models to capture the scale dependence of coupled reactive transport processes.
Functioning and disability are umbrella terms to encompass the multiple continua of functioning described from the perspective of the body, the individual and the society [ 1].
The conceptual model has been implemented into a three-dimensional, three-phase reservoir simulator with a generalized multiple-continuum modeling approach.
The conceptual model considers fractured vuggy rock as a triple- or multiple-continuum medium, consisting of (1) highly permeable and well-connected fractures, (2) low-permeability rock matrix, and (3) various-sized vugs.
In this paper, a multiple-continuum conceptual model is presented, based on geological data and observations of core samples from carbonate formations in China, to investigate single-phase and multiphase flow behavior in such vuggy fractured reservoirs.
This work develops a new analytical solution for analyzing late-time pulse-decay test data for dual-continuum rock samples, motivated by the possibility that shale matrix (not including fractures) may exhibit dual- or multiple-continuum gas-flow behavior owing to its wide spread pore size distributions and property differences between organic and inorganic components of the shale matrix.
The discrete fracture network (DFN) and Multiple-Continua concept are among the most widely used methods to model naturally fractured reservoirs.
GQSAR model can be developed by applying statistical methods like partial least square (PLS), principle component regression, multiple regression, continuum regression, and k-Nearest Neighbour on a series of congeneric compounds in order to gain insights into the effects of descriptors on their biological activity [ 27, 28].
The multi-continuum models (including a dual-porosity model, a dual-porosity dual-permeability model, and a multiple interacting continua model) are used to simulate fractured reservoirs.
A field-scale simulation using the multiple interacting continua (MINC) discretization approach is conducted to illustrate possible applications of thermal remediation of fractured geologic media, assuming uniform heating.
We present a novel discretization scheme tailored to a class of multiphase models that regard the physical system as consisting of multiple interacting continua.
