摘要:

目前的工作试图确定流动和几何变量对比例因子的作用,比例因子是模拟多孔介质中非牛顿流体表观粘度的必要参数。将多孔介质微结构理想化为圆柱和方柱阵列,采用多弛豫时间格子玻尔兹曼方法对剪切变稀非牛顿流体流动进行孔隙尺度模拟。固体圆柱体的尺寸和内含物比率的变化产生了具有不同孔隙度和渗透率的宽范围的多孔介质。本研究还使用随机重建技术生成逼真的,随机的多孔微结构。对于每种情况,孔隙尺度流体流动模拟能够基于孔隙内计算的剪切速率计算等效粘度。研究表明,该比例因子与孔隙度、渗透率、弯曲度和渗流阈值有很强的相关性,在渗流阈值孔隙度处接近最大值。目前的调查量化,并提出有意义的相关性之间的比例因子和宏观性质的多孔介质。

英文摘要:

Present work attempts to identify the roles of flow- and geometric-variables on the scaling factor which is a necessary parameter for modeling the apparent viscosity of non-Newtonian fluid in porous media. While idealizing the porous media microstructure as arrays of circular and square cylinders, present study uses multi-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method to conduct pore-scale simulation of shear thinning non-Newtonian fluid flow. Variation in the size and inclusion ratio of the solid cylinders generates wide range of porous media with varying porosity and permeability. Present study also used stochastic reconstruction technique to generate realistic, random porous microstructures. For each case, pore-scale fluid flow simulation enables the calculation of equivalent viscosity based on the computed shear rate within the pores. It is observed that the scaling factor has strong dependence on porosity, permeability, tortuosity and the percolation threshold, while approaching the maximum value at the percolation threshold porosity. Present investigation quantifies and proposes meaningful correlations between the scaling factor and the macroscopic properties of the porous media.
