Multiscale Modeling of Porous Medium Systems

Abstract

The thermodynamically constrained averaging theory is used to formulate a model to describe two-fluid-phase flow in a porous medium system. Microfluidic experiments and lattice-Boltzmann modeling are used to examine the closure relations needed to form a closed well-posed model. Comparisons are made with other model formulations approaches and the advantages of the TCAT model are listed. The challenges remaining are discussed.
