Permeability characterises flow in porous rocks/media for upscaling, while steady-state flow fields allow analysis of reactive transport, fines migration, and tight unconventional rocks. Fast calculation of permeability and flow fields obtained from Pore Network Models (PNM) and Laplace Semi-Analytical Solvers (SAS) deviate from computationally demanding simulation of Navier Stokes Equations (NSE) due to flow and geometry simplifications. Coupling PNM/SAS with direct simulation via Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) provides 5-- speed-up without accuracy loss over 100 samples from 0.7mD to 3.5D. Permeability errors in PNM/SAS show 10-20% (up to 50-70%) error. PNM shows higher variance from geometric simplifications compared to SAS which only makes flow-based assumptions. PNM/SAS errors are eliminated by coupling with LBM at a fraction of LBM-only compute cost. Steady-state conditions with PNM/SAS-LBM are reached in timesteps, compared to LBM-only which can require 5 timesteps in tight domains such as cemented sandstone, carbonate, coal, and shale.

结合孔隙网络和Laplace模型在多孔介质中进行快速直接流动模拟
渗透率表征了多孔岩石/介质中的流动以进行放大,而稳态流场则允许分析反应性运移,细粒运移和致密的非常规岩石。由于简化了流动和几何形状,因此从孔隙网络模型(PNM)和拉普拉斯半解析求解器(SAS)获得的渗透率和流场的快速计算与对Navier Stokes方程(NSE)的计算要求较高的仿真有所不同。通过莱迪思·玻耳兹曼方法(LBM)将PNM / SAS与直接仿真耦合,可以提供5--从0.7mD到3.5D可以进行100多个采样,而不会造成精度损失。PNM / SAS中的渗透率错误显示10-20%(最多50-70%)的错误。与仅基于流的假设的SAS相比,PNM在几何简化方面显示出更高的方差。通过与LBM耦合,消除了PNM / SAS错误,而仅花费LBM的一部分计算成本。在PNM / SAS-LBM中达到稳态条件 的时间步伐,与可能只需要LBM的情况相比 在水泥砂岩,碳酸盐,煤炭和页岩等紧密领域中的5个时间步长。
