Full textReactive transport modeling is used in many energy and environmental applications related to subsurface flows. Modeling such problems leads to a highly nonlinear system of PDEs coupled with algebraic or ODEs. Two types of approaches for the numerical solving of reactive transport problems are widely used in the literature. One is the operator-splitting approach which consists in splitting the flow and reactive transport problems. These latter are solved sequentially at each time step. The other strategy is based on the fully coupled approach in which the entire system is solved simultaneously. The goal of the PhD thesis is the development of a fully coupled fully implicit finite volume scheme for numerical modeling of single and two-phase multicomponent flows with reactive transport in porous media. New reactive transport modules will be implemented in DuMuX, a free and open-source simulator for flow and transport processes in porous media. Numerical simulations for 2D and 3D including benchmark tests and high performance computing will be performed to validate the modules

Full textThis work focuses on inertial flow in porous media encountered in differentindustrial situations such as flow around wells in oil recovery, flow in filters and in columns ofreactors for chemical engineering, etc. In stationary flow regime, the different macroscopicmodels describing inertial (non-linear) flow are still discussed. These models consist in theDarcy’s law with correction extra terms whose dependence upon the filtration velocity is afunction of the flow regime. In this work, a particular attention is attributed first to the numericalinvestigation (DNS), on model structures, of the limit of one phase Newtonian stationary flowwhich corresponds to the first Hopf bifurcation, characterized by a critical Reynolds number.The knowledge of this limit is crucial since it establishes the ranges of validity of the relevantmacroscopic stationary models. In a second step, the dependence of the deviation (inertial)from Darcy’s law on the properties of the porous structure (grains shape, disorder) and on theorientation of the flow is analyzed in 2D and 3D situations. The effective properties of thestructure and the flow at the macroscopic scale are obtained from the numerical resolution ofthe closure problems associated to the macroscopic model obtained from an up-scalingprocedure (volume averaging) of the Navier-Stokes equations. In order to identify the origin ofthe deviation and its different forms, the variation of the microscopic flow structure with theReynolds number is analyzed. More specifically, the role of the recirculation zones, and thecorrelations with flow streamlines curvature multiplied by the local kinetic energy and thevariation of the kinetic energy along these lines are studied. The last part of the work isdedicated to a numerical investigation of the deviation from the generalized Darcy’s law in thecase of two phase inertial flow

Full textCe travail est divisé en trois parties : la première partie contient une analyse de différents schémas numériques pour la discrétisation des problèmes d'advection-diffusion, notamment par une technique de séparation d'opérateurs, ainsi que leur mise en oeuvre informatique, dans un code industriel.
La deuxième partie, qui est la contribution majeure de cette thèse, est consacrée à la modélisation et à l'implémentation d'une méthode de couplage globale pour le transport réactif. Le système couplé transport-chimie est décrit, après discrétisation en temps, par un système d'équations non linéaires. La taille du système sous-jacent, à savoir le nombre de points de grille multiplié par le nombre d'espèces chimiques, interdit la résolution du système linéaire par une méthode directe. Pour remédier à cette difficulté, nous utilisons une méthode de Newton-Krylov qui évite de former et de factoriser la matrice Jacobienne.
Dans la dernière partie, nous présentons un modèle d'écoulement dans un milieu fracturé tridimensionnel, basé sur une méthode de décomposition de domaine, et qui traite l'intersection des fractures. Nous démontrons l'existence et l'unicité de la solution, et nous validons le modèle par des tests numériques.

Full textNon-wowen are materials with a complicate porous structure. lndeed, the tangle of fibers and their consolidation, make the comprehension of their hydraulic properties complicated. After having explored three important tracks of research in this field, we chose the direct observation of the physical phenomenon by image analysis and especially the dynamics of the capil!ary rise in a non-woven material. For that, we set up a test bed using a digital camera and a well-adapted lighting to carry out tests on the non-woven materials. I developed and deployed algorithms, which allow an extraction of data in order to understand and simulate the capillary rise in the porous network ofthe non-woven material. These algorithms can be classified in the following way: -an algorithm for the extraction of metric and geometrical properties of pores contained in a non-woven sample.These data represent the structural parameters. -an algorithm which a!lows the extraction of the dynamic hydraulic property. This dynamic property corresponds to a functional property for these materials intended to be used for industrial and domestic hygiene, -an algorithm that determines the most relevant structural parameters based on a decision tree approach, -an algorithm allowing the determination and the simulation of a very wetting Iiquid's dynamic behaviour within the porous network. This approach draws its originality. from the importance attached to the, experimental model and the rules drawn from the Iatter in order.to build the simulation. ln this work, we start from experimental observatIons to deduce an algonthmlc descnptIon faithful to reality.The approach is supported by existing theones

Full textThis thesis is focused on the design and the analysis of efficient numerical schemes for the simulation of complex flows in porous media. First, we propose a nonlinear Control Volume Finite Element scheme (CVFE) in order to approximate the solution of Richards equation with anisotropy. This scheme is based on a suitable upwinding of the mobility which allows the negative transmissibility coefficients. We prove the nonlinear stability of the scheme, that there exists (at least) one discrete solution and that the saturation belongs to the interval [0,1]. Moreover, the convergence of the method is proved as the discretization steps tend to 0. We give some numerical experiments on isotropic and anisotropic cases illustrate the efficiency of the method. Second, we propose and analyze a finite volume scheme based on two-point flux approximation with upwind mobilities for a seawater intrusion model. The scheme preserves at the discrete level the main features of the continuous problem, namely the nonnegativity of the solutions, the decay of the energy and the control of the entropy and its dissipation. We show the convergence of this scheme. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the behavior of the model. Finally, the large time behaviour of the seawater intrusion model is studied. The goal is to identify the steady states which are the minimizers of a convex energy. We prove for the continuous problem the existence and uniqueness of the minimizers of the energy, that the minimizers are stationary states and that these stationary states are radial and unique. We give numerical illustrations of the stationary states and we exhibit the convergence rate

Full textIn the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process, a thermoset resin is injected into a fibrous woven reinforcement. This resin polymerises to form a composite part. The goal is to model the flow at different scales: the tow scale (mesoscopic) and the fibre scale (microscopic), using numerical simulation. This thesis is divided in two parts. The first one is about permeability computation of a representative elementary volume (REV), applying an averaging method on pressure and velocity fields in the frame of the immersed domains method. At microscopic scale, permeability computation is validated using analytical laws. At mesoscopic scale, Stokes and Darcy equations, for the flows between and into yarns, have been implemented. The second part concerns the impregnation of the reinforcement at microscopic scale. It's includes modelling of the flow front movement between fibres with surface tension forces. We have implemented methods to take into account for the capillary phenomenon. We have implemented and validated methods to impose static contact angle and slip of the contact line. All developments are made using finite elements method with a velocity pressure formulation stabilised by a bubble function (MINI-element), and using the immersed domains method

Full textThis work treats the modeling of mass transport in porous media. The advective part of the transport equation is solved using the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method. In the first part, the discretization of the spatial operator is considered and two approximation spaces are studied and compared for unstructured meshes in 2-D. The temporal discretization is tackled in the second part of this study. Two alternatives to the traditional explicit scheme are presented : a class of semi-implicit schemes and an explicit local time-stepping procedure which allows spatially varying time steps. Finally, the last part of this work consists of using the developed numerical tools to simulate density coupled flow and transport in porous media. The local time procedure is implemented in a 3-D numerical code and numerical experiments show that the model gives accurate results being highly efficient for this kind of problems

Full textIn dynamic reservoir simulation, one of the most troublesome artifacts for the prediction of production is the grid orientation effect. Although this normally arises from any numerical scheme, it happens to be amplified by the instability of the physical model, which occurs when the mobility contrast between the water (pushing fluid, used in the processes of secondary recovery) and the oil (pushed fluid, containing the hydrocarbons) exceeds a some critical threshold. We then speak of flows with adverse mobility ratio. This GOE issue has received a lot of attention from the engineers. Numerous works dating back to the 1980s have resulted in the so-called nine-point scheme. Currently implemented in the IFPEN software PumaFlow, this scheme performs relatively well in square meshes and depends on a scalar parameter whose value varies from one author to another, on the grounds of heuristic considerations. In this thesis, we propose a new methodological approach in order not only to optimally adjust this free parameter, but also to extend the scheme to rectangular meshes. The strategy that we advocate is based on an error analysis of the problem, from which it is possible to define a notion of angular error and to guarantee that the behavior of the obtained scheme is the "least anisotropic" possible through a minimization of its deviation from some ideal behavior. This minimization procedure is then applied to two other families of numerical schemes: (1) a multidimensional scheme proposed by Kozdon, in which the free parameter is a function; (2) another nine-point scheme involving two scalar parameters. The latter provides the best results regarding GOE reduction when the ratio of the mesh steps is far away from 1. Finally, an extension of the method to more sophisticated physical models is envisaged

Full textThis thesis is mainly concerned with the multidomain simulations of flow in porous media. Three different themes are considered. First, we study a domain decomposition method with non-matching meshes using Robin type interface conditions, for the mixed finite elements. Second, this method is implemented in parallel using the parallel system OcamlP3l, written in Ocaml by computer scientists. In OcamlP3l, the user develops and debugs sequentially, and obtains the parallel code with a mere recompilation. A realistic 3D simulation is given to validate the procedure. Finally, we present a new model for flow in a porous medium containing large fractures that may have very large and/or very small permeabilities. In this model, the fractures are treated as interfaces between subdomains. Existence and uniqueness of the solution is proved and an error estimate is obtained. Some numerical experiments show the quality of the results

Full textCapillary pumped loop is a two phase device that uses the phase change phenomena occurred in the porous wick to transport large heat loads over long distances (several meters) without the need of any mechanical pump. CPLs have been developed and successfully employed for the thermal control of satellites. Thanks to their heat transport capacity, their use is now seriously considered in the gravity field especially for cooling electronic devices of a railroad traction chain. The work of this thesis focuses on the description of the unsteady thermodynamic behavior of a capillary pumped loop used by Alstom Transport to cool its power electronics components. The first part of the thesis consists to study the key component of CPL: the capillary evaporator. A 2D unsteady mathematical model has been developed to describe the heat and mass transfer inside the porous wick of the CPL evaporator. The numerical results of this model show the formation of a vapor pocket inside the porous wick. The influences of evaporator geometry, liquid subcooling, saturation temperature and wick porosity on the dynamic growth of the vapor pocket are discussed in detail. The second part of this work consists of coupling the CPL evaporator model with other CPL components in order to obtain a global capillary pumped poop model with a mobile liquid/vapor interface in the porous wick. The proposed model is validated by comparing numerical simulations with experimental results obtained in a previous works realized at Alstom Transport. The CPL startup is then studied. Finally, the influences of the applied power, reservoir temperature and heat sink temperature on the dynamic response of the overall loop are analyzed, with a particular interest to the evaporator behavior

Full textBrush seals are compliant dynamic seals that are used in the turbomachines. They are made of a brush of fine bristles sandwiched between two plates, in such a way that the assembly fills the gap between the rotor and the stator. The bristles are usually made from a cobalt based alloy called Haynes 25 (other materials can be used, such as Kevlar). The behaviour of these seals shows a strong coupling between the fluid flow and the brush deformation.This kind of seal can be modelled by considering the brush as a porous medium. This method presents the benefit of a rather simple calculation of the flow, but it requires the use of experimental data in order to calibrate its permeabilities (i.e. its ability to let the fluid flow through it). The aim of this thesis is to propose a model using the porous medium approach but without the need of preliminary experimental data. An iterative simulation between the calculation of the bristles' deformation under the influence of the pressure forces and the solving of the flow in the porous medium formed by the deformed brush was developed. It relies on the numerical calculation of the permeabilities obtained from the pressure drop generated by an array of cylinders representative of the brush.Low diameter Haynes 25 seals were tested with air in order to verify the validity of the results given by the simulation. The evolution of the mass flow rate with the pressure difference and the interference between the seal and the rotor was studied. Displacements of the rotor and temperature of the seals were also monitored during the tests

Full textIn order to improve thermo-mechanical behavior of tubine blades in SAFRAN engines plane, a new composite material is necessary. The manufacturing process to obtain this composite is intricate and requires a two steps fluid densification process. This thesis focuses on numerical simulation of the first one called Slurry Cats/APS. In this step, suspended particles are introducted and captured in the reinforcement. For that purpose,we carry out a model at fiber scale, using Navier-Stokes equations in incompressible and monophasic formulation, Phillips equations [Phillips et al., 1992] and a rheological law [Krieger, 1972]. After validation step consisting in a comparison of computational results with experiments [Hampton et al., 1997] and theorical law [Belfort et al., 1994], this model has been used to simulate flow around geometries similar to those encountered in our composite material

Full textWe study the turbulent flow of a fluid over a canopy, that we model as a deformable porous medium. This porous medium is more precisely a carpet of fibres that bend under the hydrodynamic load, hence initiating a fluid-structure coupling at the scale of a fibre's height (honami). The objective of the thesis is to develop a macroscopic model of this fluid-structure interaction in order to perform numerical simulations of this process. The volume averaging method is implemented to describe the large scales of the flow and their interaction with the deformable porous medium. An hybrid approach is followed due to the non-local nature of the solid phase; While the large scales of the flow are described within an Eulerian frame by applying the method of volume averaging, a Lagrangian approach is proposed to describe the ensemble of fibres. The interface between the free-flow and the porous medium is handle with a One-Domain- Approach, which we justify with the theoretical development of a mass- and momentum- balance at the fluid/porous interface. This hybrid model is then implemented in a parallel code written in C$++$, based on a fluid- solver available from the \openfoam CFD toolbox. Some preliminary results show the ability of this approach to simulate a honami within a reasonable computational cost. Prior to implementing a macroscopic model, insight into the small-scale is required. Two specific aspects of the small-scale are therefore studied in details; The first development deals with the inertial deviation from Darcy's law. A geometrical parameter is proposed to describe the effect of inertia on Darcy's law, depending on the shape of the microstructure of the porous medium. This topological parameter is shown to efficiently characterize inertia effects on a diversity of tested microstructures. An asymptotic filtration law is then derived from the closure problem arising from the volume averaging method, proposing a new framework to understand the relationship between the effect of inertia on the macroscopic fluid-solid force and the topology of the microstructure of the porous medium. A second research axis is then investigated. As we deal with a deformable porous medium, we study the effect of the pore-scale fluid-structure interaction on the filtration law as the flow within the pores is unsteady, inducing time-dependent fluidstresses on the solid- phase. For that purpose, we implement pore-scale numerical simulations of unsteady flows within deformable pores, focusing for this preliminary study on a model porous medium. Owing to the large displacements of the solid phase, an immersed boundary approach is implemented. Two different numerical methods are compared to apply the no-slip condition at the fluid-solid interface: a diffuse interface approach and a sharp interface approach. The objective is to find the proper method to afford acceptable computational time and a good reliability of the results. The comparison allows a cross-validation of the numerical results, as the two methods compare well for our cases. This numerical campaign shows that the pore-scale deformation has a significant impact on the pressure drop at the macroscopic scale. Some fundamental issues are then discussed, such as the size of a representative computational domain or the form of macroscopic equations to describe the momentum transport within a soft deformable porous medium

Full textGeological and geophysical expertise coupled to numerical simulation allow the petroleum industry to build increasingly detailed reservoir models. These models integrate the whole set of available data (production and seismic) but involve geostatistics and stochastic approach. A large number of simulations is required to estimate hydrocarbon reserves and optimize oil recovery. During a first step, engineers build a geological model respecting the real geometry of the reservoir and containing possibly million of cells. The second step consist in building a coarser model, the reservoir model. It contains less cells in order to ensure that numerical simulation is feasible within a reasonable time. Upscaling is the characterization of the reservoir model accordingly to the geological model properties. Multiphase flows upscaling is still an actual issue. Indeed, methods are applied from case to case or in successive stages. Relative permeability curves, characteristic of multiphase flow equations, are a real issue. The main purpose here is to propose an upscaling method for relative permeability by an optimization approach. The studied reservoir is divided in several zones. The upscaled relative permeability curves obtained for each zone allow the building of a reservoir model. This reservoir model forms a good match for the geological model in terms of equivalent flow

Full textThe present thesis on porous media concentrates in two parts. The first concerns the numerical study of the flow of a Newtonian or a non-Newtonian fluid within a fluid/porous system. The approach of a single domain, which consists of/in writing the Navier-Stokes equation including the Darcy-Brinkham-Forchheimer term, is chosen in this study. The linear relation between the pressure gradient and the bulk velocity in the Darcy case, for which the fluid is Newtonian, is obtained. This relation is extended to the non-Darcy case, for which the fluid is non-Newtonian. The influence of Darcy and Forchheimer numbers on the structure of the flow is presented. In the second part, linear stability and numerical analysis of the natural convection of viscoelastic fluids saturating a horizontal porous layer heated by a constant flux is performed. A primary and secondary instability study allowed to show that, for a Newtonian fluid, the unicellular convection loses its stability to the benefit of longitudinal rolls. In the case of viscoelastic fluids, the elasticity of the fluid leads to the selection of propagation transverse rolls. A numerical solution based on a finite difference scheme has reinforced these analytical results

Full textThis work is concerned about the numerical and experimental study of the flow and heat transfer over a porous circular cylinder in cross-flow submitted to non-isothermal blowing (internal flow). Flow regimes are steady and unsteady, laminar and turbulent. Two blowing models are proposed. The experiments allow for numerical simulation and blowing models validation. In particular, using hot- and cold-wire anemometry, velocity and temperature profiles are compared with numerical simulations. A coupling between internal flow within the porous matrix and external flow over the cylinder is achieved, in the form of an user defined function of the code accounting for radiative heat transfer, to determine the equilibrium wall temperature. Performances of liquid injection (transpiration cooling) are experimentally evaluated with water and ethanol and prove excellent thermal protection effectiveness of the process. Moreover, the blowing influence on instabilities influence on instabilities is studied. It is seen that the blowing lowers the primary and secondary vortex shedding frequency and modifies the shear layer structure. In case of blowing, a series of peaks appears. Using the linear stability theory, it is shown that growth rates are significantly affected by blowing and that the near wake structure, and the absolutely convective zone in particular, is modified. Finally, performed 3-D numerical simulations lead to the conclusion that blowing reduces tri-dimensional effects

Full textThis dissertation is devoted to the investigation of the motion of solid particles in an isothermal and non isothermal inhomogeneous turbulent gas flow using direct numerical simulation. By means of this numerical tool, it was possible to analyse the inertia and crossing trajectory effects on the thermal and dynamical characteristics of the dispersed phase as well as on those of the fluid seen. A better understanding of the influence of these two effects is an important issue in the development of Eulerian-Eulerian and Eulerian-Lagrangian models. The study was conducted by extracting dispersed phase statistics such as concentration, mean and root mean square of the particle velocity, fluid-particle covariances, and triple particle velocity correlations. The characteristics of the fluid seen which were examined are the drift velocity, the Reynolds stresses, and the decorrelation time scales of the fluctuating velocity of the fluid seen. Concerning non isothermal flows, we present the thermal statistics of the dispersed phase as well as those of the fluid seen obtained in a downward channel flow. These aspects are investigated keeping in mind the objective of the present study, i. E. Understand the thermal behaviour of the dispersed phase and provide information about crucial parameters which appear in the modelling of such flows

Full textMatrix acidizing of a well in a carbonated reservoir improves its productivity, especially when the well is damaged. This stimulation technique relies on an unstable process which creates, under specific conditions, empty channels called "wormholes". The objective of the operator is to use this instability to reconnect the well to the reservoir while minimizing the duration of the treatment and the volume of acid injected. The aim of the present thesis is to improve the understanding of the mechanisms of instability and to optimize the acid treatment. In the first part, we present a series of linear stability analysis of the dissolution front in a porous media. Results explain the role of dimensionless numbers in transitions between the different dissolution regimes and serve to predict these transitions. We also use simulations of core acidizing to study the wormhole density, the mechanism of wormhole competition and the effect of confinement induced by the core boundaries on dissolution patterns in 2D and 3D, in linear and radial geometries. Then, in the second part, we propose a large scale model to simulate full acid treatments, based on a dual porosity approach. An exemple of simulation of a full acid treatment illustrated the model. Finally, we link this acidizing simulator to a reservoir simulator and an inversion software in order to optimise the treatment parameters, as a function of the oil production

Full textThe aim of the thesis is to solve transport problems by means of particles methods. Two problems are resolved with particles methods : the migration of a solute in the groundwater and the water flow in a porous medium at the pore scale. In order to solve the advection-dispersion equation in the general case of a non-isotropic dispersion, a numerical model based on the particles methods and the dispersion velocity method is presented. In order to simulate flows in porous media at low Reynolds numbers, a numerical model based on an anisotropic particles method and a boundary integral method is presented. The anisotropic particles method allows to improve the description of the boundary layer appearing around grains of the ground. The boundary integral method allows to satisfy the no-slip condition by writing a boundary integral equation on the wall of grains of the ground

Full textA non-newtonian fluid is a fluid which relation between it's shear rate and the stress under which it is put, is not linear. In a porous medium, the stress imposed to the fluid depends on the imposed pressure, but also on the pores size, and therefore on the macroscopic scale permeability. Some fluids have a rheology such that the fluid show a change of behaviour reaching a yield stress. If the pore size is random, then the fluid will present heterogeneous regime changes in the medium. The flow will then show a first regime where the whole fluid will be under the threshold, a regime where the whole fluid will be far above the threshold, and an intermediate regime for which both rheologies coexists. We are interested in intermediate regime for the flow of non-newtonian fluids in macroscopic porous media, and study it with numerical simulations. More particularly, we look at the flow of a Bingham fluid and that of a Carreau fluid. The Bingham fluid doesn't flow under a yield stress. Under the threshold, it behaves as a solid. Beyond, it's shear-rate/stress relation is an affine law. Carreau fluids have a shear-rate/stress relation that change regime between that of a newtonian fluid, and a power law. The macroscopic scale study is done simulating a Darcy-Brinkman law in a heterogeneous permeability field. We use for our simulations the lattice-Boltzmann method, on a regular node grid, and more specifically Irina Ginzburg two relaxation-time scheme. For each fluid, we study the flow-pressure relationship, as well as the geometric properties and the multi-scale properties in the fluid regions in the same flow regime (clusters), properties such as their size and shape. We also link these geometrical properties to the percolation theory, which studies the behaviour of randomly opening node maps and predicts fractal properties

Full textOnly at the beginning of the millennium, direct numerical simulation has emerged as a valuable tool capable of studying the atomization of an isolated droplet by a high-speed flow. The atomization can be divided into two distinct phases: the aerobreakup occurs first in the form of flattening of the droplet, also forming filaments, and then it continues via the obtaining of a multitude of reduced sizes droplets what completes the process of atomization. The main objectives of this work were therefore to establish a model and a numerical method able to study these phenomena as well as possible. The atomization of an isolated droplet is presented and is accompanied by a comparison with the experiment which confirms the capacities of the model and the method to numerically simulate the different physical processes involved. Essential information on atomization mechanisms, which cannot be exploited with experiments, is described and the objective of obtaining droplets of reduced sizes is achieved

Full textThe description of the degradation of solids is crucial in the numerical simulation of a fire, the pyrolysis gases constituting the combustible source. It is important to describe with accuracy these processes, according to the ambient conditions. However, the couplings between chemical reactions and mechanisms of mass and heat transports strongly modify the behavior of the fire.The objective of this work is to predict the macroscopic behavior of the thermal decomposition of solid fuel by numerical simulation. The intrinsic properties of the material, among which a chemical model including a reactive scheme and the associated thermochemical parameters stemming from small-scale experiment are considered as well as the transport mechanisms and the limiting effects that they can introduce. The comportment of the material is then predicted for geometrical configurations and arbitrary scenarios of exposure. The specific tool developed during this Ph-D is based on a description on the Darcy scale. It has in the future to be coupled with a global code of simulation of the fire, so that the conditions undergone by every exposed solid element would be described whereas the prediction of the fire evolution fire would depend on the behavior of the materials supplied by the present module.A set of applications is presented for two wooden materials, featuring different reactive schemes, with sequential or competitive reactions. The configurations and the examined scenarios correspond to normalized tests under cone calorimeter, and a comparison between the numerical and experimental results is made

Full textThis study is devoted to the numerical modeling of damage for ductile porous materials and its applications to geomaterials. We first recall and analyze in chapter 1 different approaches of ductile damage. We then propose in chapter 2 a model based on the isotropic Gurson-type macroscopic criterion established by Monchietet al.(2007). This model is implemented numerically in ABAQUS Finite Element software. The good performance of this new model is checked by comparing its numerical predictions with the ones provided by other Gurson-type models. In chapter 3, numerical modelings are performed for geomaterials by implementing an appropriate model (based on Guo et al.(2008) criterion) in ABAQUS. The adequacy of the considered model to geomaterials is demonstrated through the study of a chalk. The numerical implementation and analysis of an anisotropic model based on the anisotropic version of the criterion proposed by Monchiet et al.(2007) are presented in chapter 4. The numerical results derived from this implementation are discussed with the results of others existing models. They appear to be quite satisfactory

Full textEn terme de résultats, nous montrons que l'approche développée est capable de reproduire quantitativement les principaux processus mis en jeu dans le transport sédimentaire de particules non cohésives : la sédimentation et la dispersion turbulente des particules en milieu dilué. Le modèle développé confirme l'existence d'une différence de vitesse horizontale entre les particules et l'eau. Il simule les effets de dispersion des particules par le mouvement turbulent du fluide et l'atténuation de l'énergie cinétique turbulente du fluide due à la présence des particules. Une autre originalité de ce travail est de proposer un modèle diphasique à surface libre, bidimensionnel vertical, pour la simulation du transport sédimentaire. Nous avons identifié des lacunes entre les théories et les expériences notamment pour la simulation de la turbulence en écoulement dense. Nous proposons des solutions pour améliorer la simulation du comportement de matériaux cohésifs. Une tentative de simulation hydrosédimentaire sur l'estuaire de la Seine est présentée. Le phénomène de bouchon vaseux est qualitativement reproduit par le modèle sans qu'aucune loi d'érosion ou de dépôt ne soit imposée.

Full textWith rarefaction of conventional petroleum fields and the world supply increase, petroleum companies have to consider new unexploited reserves because of their exploitation cost few years ago. These reserves are called unconventional reserves, mainly heavy oil or extra heavy oil. This work is devoted to the numerical simulation of an extraction process of heavy oil, the VAPEX. VAPEX is characterized by solvent injection in a horizontal well in order to facilitate gravity drainage of oil in a producer well situated in the same way under the injector well. The main stake to simulate this process is to simulate the mechanism of solvent penetration in oil with precision, this penetration zone being very thin drawn to the reservoir scale. We focus our work on application of algorithm of adaptive mesh refinement to simulate this process. This consideration lead us to consider the issue of application of mesh refinement in porous media, especially in heterogeneous porous media for which existing indicators (or estimators) do not allow to determine properly the zone to be refined. The objective of this work is to determine a posteriori estimators for implementation of simulation codes of heterogeneous petroleum reservoirs and their application to the VAPEX process. Firstly, we set the whole equations we have to solve numerically to build simulators of petroleum extraction processes by water injection and solvent injection. Then, we describe the VAPEX process and we establish the semi-analytical study of Butler & Mokrys of this process for which we take in account influence of capillarity. Afterwards, we describe two mathematical methods to establish a posteriori estimators for such problems. One of these methods is based on empirical extrapolation of existing estimators for hyperbolic problems given by Ohlberger. In the course of this work, we set two simulation codes of petroleum reservoirs, the first is a simulator based on equations discretisation by mixed finite element method allowing simulation of water injection problems and the second is based on discretisation by finite volumes method allowing simulation of solvent injection processes like the VAPEX. Then, we apply these estimators to an algorithm of mesh refinement for these two simulation codes. The study of the semi-analytical model set of the VAPEX process show that under hypothesis, capillarity can be likened to a diffusive term to determine the front tracking. Estimators set are based on flux variation and allow determining sharp zone to be refined in heterogeneous porous media. We illustrate this result for a simulation of water injection with the simulator built. The estimators set can also track saturations fronts and concentrations fronts. We illustrate this result on a simulation of the VAPEX process. This work shows it is possible to set estimators allowing mesh refinement to track saturations and concentrations fronts during simulation of flow in heterogeneous porous media. To set such estimators, we make a distinction between saturation (resp. concentration) front and high saturation (resp. concentration) gradient. To our point of view, a front is a high variation of saturation or concentration that has a high impact on the flux variation. It is different from a high gradient that appear automatically where the permeability of the porous media has a high variation. This work could be complemented by making more simulations with variations of capillarity and dispersive terms in order to have a better appreciation of estimators introduced. It would be advisable to study the impact of suppositions done to establish these empirical estimators set. After all, such estimators could be applied to a simulation code taking in account dispersion in porous media

Full textAim of this work is to enhance understanding of the main phenomena occurring during infiltration of wastewater within vertical flow sand filter. We also introduce some operating possibilities which may improve efficiency and keep seepage beds in good working order. In the first part we document state of art in this research topic. Following some general remarks about different wastewater treatment techniques, more precise description of seepage beds is made with particular interest on its constraints and needs of further research. A central issue is the choice of porous media. It should be adapted to allow good oxygen feeding for bacteria growing on it and avoid biological clogging. Second part, mainly experimental, is focused on physical and hydraulic characterization of un-colonized crushed and stream sand. We carried out a residence time distribution (RTD) comparison of these two sands under steady and unsteady flow. Apart from characteristics of porous media and with a constant daily loading rate, decreased frequencies involve longer residence times. On the other hand, output recovery of the mass of injected tracer always occurs faster with stream sand. Continuation of hydrodynamic study is made with colonised porous media. Efficiency of biological removing of carbonaceous pollution is higher within stream sand. Opposite trend is observed with nitrogenous pollution. Removing of both nitrogenous and carbonaceous pollutions is linked to oxygenation. In other words it is linked to renewal of gaseous phase in porous medium. We highlight convection and diffusion of oxygen in porous media by using a fluorescence technology, which allows us to detect both gaseous and dissolved oxygen. We compare participation of convection and diffusion phenomena to renewal of oxygen. Achievement of this work consists on the development of a numerical code which simulates flow and pollution degradation through a colonized porous medium. Two different numerical methods have been used. In the first model, also called global approach, chemical and transport parts of each equation are solved by a single numerical scheme. A second model introduces a splitting operator method which solves separately and successively convective, dispersive and kinetic parts of each equation

Full textHeterogeneous porous media have been intensively studied these last fifty years. The popularity of this subject come from the multiple areas where these researches can be applied and their importance to our society. Whether from the oil companies that want to optimize their methods of production, environmental control agencies who want to prevent contamination of ground water and leakage of nuclear waste or industrial with drainage issues and mine rehabilitation, all these actors depend on research done in this area. However, one of the main problems of this subject is the accessibility of these porous media which are often several hundred meters underground. To overcome this, many teams have turned to computer simulation. This thesis is among them and uses the PARADIS module from the hydrogeology software H2olab to model particle transport in highly heterogeneous porous media. Thanks to the data obtained and comparisons with the literature, we show the impact of switching from a 2D to a 3D porous media on the ow topology and the repercussions on the particle transport. Furthermore, we also investigated the effect of molecular diffusion coefficients on macro-dispersion. Finally, we will propose two empirical functions linking macro-dispersion variance of the permeability field and molecular diffusion

Full textThe Richards equation describes the movement of an unsaturated fluid through a porous media, and is characterised as a non-linear partial differential equation. The equation is subject to a number of parameters and is typically computationnaly expensive to solve. To determine the parameters in the Richards equation, inverse modelling studies often need to be undertaken. As a solution to overcome the computational expense incurred in inverse modelling, the use of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) as a Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) method is proposed in this thesis to speed-up individual simulations. The Petrov-Galerkin POD approach is initially applied to the Richards equation and tested on different case studies. However, due to the non-linear nature of the Richards equation the method does not result in significant speed up times. Subsquently, the Petrov-Galerkin method is adapted by linearising the nonlinear terms in the equation, resulting in speed-up times in the range of [10,100]., The adaptation, notably, does not use any interpolation techniques, favouring an intrusive, but physics-based, approach. While the use of intrusive POD approaches add to the complexity of the ROM, it avoids the problem of finding kernel parameters typically present in interpolative POD approaches. Furthermore, the interpolative and possible extrapolation properties inherent to intrusive PODROM's are explored. The good extrapolation propertie, within predetermined bounds, of intrusive POD's allows for the development of an optimisation approach requiring a very small Design of Experiments (DOE). The optimisation method creates locally accurate models within the parameters space usign Support Vector Classification. The limits of the locally accurate model are called the confidence region. The methods are demonstrated on a hypothetical unsaturated case study requiring the Richards equation, and on true case study in the Table Mountain Group near Cape Town, South Africa

Full textThis thesis presents the laboratory and numerical investigations on anisotropic mechanical, poromechanical and fluid transport behavior of sandstone. After the X-ray and SEM tests, the samples were stressed under triaxial loading to study the initial and stress-induced mechanical behavior. The evolution of anisotropic Biot’s coefficients and axial permeability are also investigated and related to mechanical behavior. A plastic damage model is presented based on discrete approach. The proposed model is applied to simulate the mechanical behavior of dry sandstone under different loading conditions, the evolution and distribution of damage variable and plastic hardening variable are also discussed. Furthermore, the proposed model is applied to simulate the previous experimental results (including mechanical behavior, Biot's coefficients and permeability) of saturated sandstones. The comparisons between the numerical result and test data show a good performance of the present model. Finally, an anisotropic poroplastic damage model is developed to describe the poromechanical behavior of saturated sandstone. The comparisons between numerical simulation and experimental data is given for the triaxial compression tests under drained and undrained condition, the tests of strain response to pore pressure increment is also simulated, a good accordance is obtained

Full textInternational energy context requires a new orientation to the building sector as in construction or in renovation. Any new solution must be technically efficient and environmentally acceptable. In this thesis, the object is to achieve a numerical and experimental analysis of a building biobased materials. Some of these materials are included from the study of a transborder project to the Lorraine region (France, Belgium and Luxembourg). Indeed an Ecotransfaire project was included in this work. This project has been oriented to the development of a sustainable eco materials chain. A process of analysis has been established in order to select the materials candidates on the basis of scientific, geographical and environmental criteria. The answers are moving towards the integration of bio-based materials. These materials are subject of several heat and mass transfers phenomena. So understanding these mechanisms within a building material has been achieved firstly. This resulted on a coupled model of heat transfer, air, moisture experienced by the HAM model. This model is applied to a wooden building material whose its structure is assumed homogeneous. Then, this model was implemented and solved by the finite element method. Its numerical solution is validated by analytical results available in the literature. The study of sensitivity of the model coupling, dimensions in space, the boundary conditions and the variability of input parameters is also presented. One of the difficulties of using this model is the case of heterogeneous materials. Thus, in this work, we propose an approach of characterization of a heterogeneous lignocellulosic composite material with a porous structure. In fact, this material is composed of two components: Wood and cement. The wood is presented by a shapes aggregates with irregulars sizes and the cement is considered as the binder in the composition. The object was to predict its equivalent intrinsic properties (thermal conductivity and vapor permeability) by using the micro-tomography techniques.The methodology consists to determine the structure of the sample by taking images at the microscopic scale. Once the structure of the sample is generated, we will conduct from a reconstruction of the two-dimensional representation to a three dimensional structure by using a numerical tool which determines the equivalent properties of the 3D reconstructed domain. The permeability as well as the equivalent thermal conductivity are the two properties evaluated in this configuration. These two properties are strongly depend to the porosity and to pore distribution in the continuous phase (the solid one). Moreover the composition of the material and the volume fractions of each components influence the formation of microstructure and consequently the thermal and hydric transfers

Full textFor several decades, an important scientific activity has focused on the numerical, theoretical and experimental hydrodynamics of drops. This work presents numerical results of a single droplet in the gravity field and in non-isothermal conditions. The simulation such a multiphase system is important in both academic and industrial world. This is particularly the case in the field of emulsions, wetting problems and evaporation. To achieve this goal, there are still important algorithmic problems due to the free moving interfaces and the description of capillary effects. Here, a Volume of Fluid technique has been implemented with high order temporal and spatial schemes to preserve the sharpness of the drop interface. The system under consideration is a simplified model consisting in a single water droplet in a continuous paraffin oil phase. These liquids are immiscible and non-compressible and the overall evolution is unsteady. Capillary contributions such as temperature and surfactant dependent surface tension are fully accounted for. This presentation is aimed to show the capabilities of VOF techniques for the simulations of unsteady multiphase systems in non-isothermal configurations. The role of the droplet initial position and temperature field is described with good numerical stability. There are still important problems remaining in the simulation of free interface systems with such a technique. Spurious currents induced by the description of capillarity can in particular come into play. But these latter can be controlled once the droplet average velocity due to drainage becomes large enough
