Impact of Velocity and Interfacial Tension on the Performance of Horizontal Wells in Gas Condensate Reservoirs
Drilling horizontal wells (HWs) has recently received renewed attentions with the increasing trend in exploitation of tight gas reservoirs. An accurate estimation of productivity of such systems using a numerical simulator is a challenging task, because its 3D simulation requires a fine ... Read More
Convergence Rates For Models With Coupled 1D / 2D Subdomains
It is well known that the convergence rate of a numerical model is significantly reduced, when the genuine character of the setting with differential equation and boundary condition is not given anymore. Here we examine the decrease of convergence order for models using COMSOL in which ... Read More
Pore-Scale Phase Field Model of Two-Phase Flow in Porous Medium
Pore-scale modeling of multiphase flow through porous media is addressed most frequently to improve our understanding of flow and transport phenomena in such settings. It can be used to obtain macro-scale constitutive equations, to assign multiphase flow properties in large scale models, ... Read More
COMSOL Modelling of the Wind Effect on a PV Platform
The objective of the paper is the assessment of the wind load applied to a real photovoltaic (PV) platform installed on a site situated in Brasov, which belongs to the Transilvania University. The platform has a double-tracking axis mechanism which allows the rotation of the platform ... Read More
