Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleLab-on-Chip Methodology in the Energy Industry: Wettability Patterns and Their Impact on Fluid Displacement in Oil Reservoir ModelsMarc H. Schneider, Patrick TabelingProblem statement: We present an experimental study of multiphase transport in porous media with controlled wettability patterns based on lab-on-chip methodology. Approach: Fractional, or patterned, wettability is known to have an enormous impact in the petroleum industry on oil recovery and continuous efforts are being made to assess the role of such conditions. Results: Thus far, due to the absence … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,880 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFluid-Solid Coupling Analysis on Evolution of In-Situ Stress Field by Water Injection in OilfieldJianjun Liu, Yongxiang Zheng, Bohu Zhang et al.Water injection in oilfield may break initial balance of reservoir and lead to re-distribute of stress and deformation of strata. For further research of the evolution characteristics of in-situ field by water injection, the influence on reservoir by water injection was analyzed and different variables were set to study the effects of depth, injection-withdraw ratio and elastic modulus on strain … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 6 May 2017 · 8,061 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Characteristics in Elastic Arteries Using a Fluid-Structure Interaction ModelH. Niroomand Oscuii, M. Tafazzoli Shadpour, Farzan GhalichiIn this study the interaction of blood flow with arterial wall has been investigated using FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) modeling. Computer simulation of pulsatile blood flow was carried out on the basis of the time dependent axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations for an incompressible Newtonian fluid flow. An elastic incompressible material with large deformation was considered for the arterial wall and momentum and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 7,429 accessesView PDF Cite
