Equipment to support the validation of multiscale mathematical models of multiphase transport phenomena
Abstract
The thermodynamically constrained averaging theory (TCAT) has been used to formulate a new generation of models to describe two-fluid-phase flow through porous medium systems, which arise in a wide variety of applications of importance to DoD and society at large. Closure, evaluation, and validation of these new models is being undertaken using a variety of computational and experimental approaches. The equipment proposed in this project would enable column flood experiments to be performed under a range of strictly controlled temperature and pressure conditions. This equipment would augment an active and capable laboratory facility, which shares their resources among a community of scholars. The experiments to be performed would provide an important resource to validate this new generation of TCAT models, and provide valuable data sets that can be used to evaluate other approaches to model such systems as well. The data sets collected will be shared with collaborators.
