Conventional reservoir simulation methods for fluid flow simulation in large and complex reservoirs are very costly and time consuming. In streamline method, transport equations are solved on one-dimensional streamlines to reduce the computation time with less memory for simulation. First, pressure equation is solved on an Eulerian grid and streamlines are traced. Defining the "time of flight", saturation equations are mapped and solved on streamlines. Finally, the results are mapped back on Eulerian grid and the process is repeated until the simulation end time. The waterflooding process is considered in a fractured reservoir using the dual porosity model. Afterwards, a computational code is developed to solve the same problem by the IMPES method and the results of streamline simulation are compared to those of the IMPES and a commercial software. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of streamline simulator for simulation of two-phase flow in fractured reservoirs has been proved.展开更多

Under the conditions of slight deforma tion of granules, wave equation, complex number expressions of propagation vecto r and attenuation vector, attenuation coefficient expressions of longitudinal wa ve and transverse wave, etc, are analyzed and deduced. The expressions of attenu ation coefficients of viscoelastic longitudinal wave and transverse wave show th a t the attenuation of wave is related to frequency. The higher the frequency is, the more the attenuation is, which is tested by the laboratory experiment. In a ddi tion, the energy dissipation is related to the higher frequency wave that is abs orbed by granular media. The friction amongst granular media also increase the e nergy dissipation. During the flowing situation the expression of transmission f actor of energy shows that the granular density difference is the key factor whi ch leads to the attenuation of vibrating energy.
