Abstract: In this paper, we study the onset and development of three-dimensional convection in a tilted porous layer saturated with a liquid. The layer is subjected to a gravitational field and a strictly vertical temperature gradient. Typically, problems of thermal convection in tilted porous media saturated with a liquid are studied by assuming constant different temperatures at the boundaries of the layer, which prevent these systems from supporting conductive (non-convective) states. The boundary conditions considered in the present work allow a conductive state and are representative of typical geological applications. In an earlier work, we carried out a linear stability analysis of the conductive state. It was shown that at any layer tilt angles, the most dangerous type of disturbances are longitudinal rolls. Moreover, a non-zero velocity component exists in z -direction. In the present work, three-dimensional non-linear convection regimes are studied. The original three-dimensional problem is reduced to two-dimensional one with an analytical expression for the velocity z -component vz=vz(x,y) . It is shown that the critical Rayleigh number values obtained through numerical solutions of the obtained 2D problem by a finite difference method for different layer inclination angles, are in a good agreement with those predicted by the linear theory. The number of convective rolls realized in nonlinear calculations also fits the linear theory predictions for a given cavity geometry. Calculations carried out at low supercriticalities show that a direct bifurcation takes place. With increasing supercriticality, no transitions to other convective regimes are detected. The situation studied in this problem can be observed in oil-bearing rock formations under the influence of a geothermal temperature gradient, where the ensuing fluid convection can affect the distribution of oil throughout the layer.

1  Introduction

Lyubimov [1] studied stationary two-dimensional convection in a closed porous cavity with perfectly conductive boundaries. The cavity was heated from below. It was found that stationary flows and their stability in a horizontal layer are the same for both a porous layer and a liquid layer in a non-porous medium. But if the liquid layer is tilted relative to the horizon, then differences appear between the porous and non-porous layers.

Tilted porous layer convection often arouses interest when it comes to the exploitation of geothermal reservoirs and groundwater flows [2]. In industrial applications, it is possible to increase the efficiency of heat exchangers by tilting them at some angle to the horizon, thereby causing tilted layer convection [3]. Other important areas are pollutant transport, oil production and food processing [4,5]. Convection in a porous layer is considered in the literature [6].

Gershuni et al. [7] investigated the stability of the conductive state of a tilted layer of liquid under the influence of a vertical temperature gradient. Two-dimensional disturbances were studied. It was found that, depending on the layer tilt angle, the most dangerous disturbances can be cellular (non-zero wave number) or longwave (zero wave number). Accordingly, there is a critical angle at which one type of instability passes into another.

Weber [8] carried out a linear investigation of tilted porous layer convection. It was assumed that the layer is limited by impermeable, perfectly conductive solid boundaries. The boundaries have different temperatures. Along each boundary the temperature is constant. In this case, the temperature gradient is not vertical, therefore a non-convective state is impossible. For any arbitrarily small temperature difference between the boundaries of the layers, a stationary plane-parallel convective flow arises. It is shown that the wave vector of the most dangerous type of disturbances is perpendicular to the velocity vectors of the base flow (longitudinal rolls).

Bories et al. [9] experimentally investigated the same problem. It has been found that at layer tilt angles less than approximately 15°, the flow has the form of hexagonal cells. This can be explained by nonlinear effects such as the dependence of thermal diffusivity and viscosity on temperature [10,11] or changes in average temperature [12]. At large tilt angles, the disturbances become two-dimensional with the axes of the rolls corresponding to the longitudinal rolls.

Various experiments indicate that during natural convection in a porous layer with large lateral dimensions, there are different flow configurations, which are determined by the layer tilt angle, the Rayleigh number, and the layer spatial configuration. Caltigirone et al. [13] used linear stability theory and three-dimensional numerical modeling to study these flows. It was found that theoretical prediction of flow structures observed in the experiment is possible.

Rees et al. [14] carried out a linear analysis of the stability of Darcy–Boussinesq convection in a tilted porous layer. Only disturbances with axes perpendicular to the velocity vectors of the base flow (transverse rolls) were considered. As in [8], it was assumed that the boundaries of the layer are impermeable and constant temperatures are maintained on them, different for the upper and lower boundaries. It was found that transverse rolls exist only up to a layer tilt angle of 31.49∘ . All realized perturbations are cellular.

Arora et al. [15] studied the nonlinear stability of natural convection in a tilted layer of liquid that has a uniform internal source (or, on the contrary, a sink) of heat, while a constant temperature is maintained at the boundaries of the layer. It has been established that the stability region is significantly determined by the layer tilt angle and the value of the Prandtl number. The most unstable orientation of the layer to arbitrary perturbations is vertical.

Storesletten et al. [16] studied the occurrence of convection in a tilted porous layer which is heated internally by a uniform distribution of heat sources. The linear stability of the basic parallel flow and the influence of layer tilt angle, internal heat generation and anisotropy on it were studied. It has been established that when convection occurs, the convective motion significantly depends on the anisotropy of the layer ( ξ ) and on the layer tilt angle ( α ). With lower permeability along the x -axis relative to the y - and z -axes ( ξ<1 ), longitudinal rolls are realized at all layer tilt angles. For ξ>1 , at a small layer tilt angle, transverse rolls are realized, and at a large layer tilt angle, longitudinal rolls are realized. At intermediate tilt angles, the orientation of the rolls gradually transitions between these two extremes.

In the mentioned works, problems were studied in which a conductive (non-convective) state is impossible. The conductive state is possible only in the case of a temperature distribution at the boundaries of the layer corresponding to a strictly vertical temperature gradient. Situations with boundary conditions of this type can occur when it comes to geological applications [17]. For example, in oil-bearing rock formations, which are a porous medium, vertical temperature gradients can arise.

Kolesnikov et al. [18] studied tilted porous layer convection. A strictly vertical temperature gradient is maintained at the boundaries of the layer. Two-dimensional disturbances were studied. A linear analysis of the stability of the conductive state was carried out. It was found that for a vertical layer, the instability is long-wave, but for any other layer orientation, cellular disturbances are the most dangerous, although long-wave instability also exists for them.

Lyubimova et al. [19] considered the same problem, but stability to three-dimensional disturbances was studied. It was found that the most dangerous type of disturbances are longitudinal rolls (rolls with axes directed along the layer and perpendicular to the axis relative to which the layer is tilted). At the layer tilt angle α<45∘ , longwave disturbances are realized, and at α>45∘ , cellular disturbances are realized.

In the present work, the onset and development of longitudinal convection rolls in a tilted porous layer saturated with liquid under a vertical temperature gradient is studied numerically. We study three-dimensional non-linear convection regimes arising after the conductive (non-convective) state loses stability. The three-dimensional problem is reduced to a two-dimensional one with analytical expression for z -component of the velocity vz=vz(x,y) which substantially simplifies the problem and makes possible a comprehensive numerical investigation for any layer tilt angles in a wide range of supercriticalities.

2  Formulation of the Problem

Let us consider an infinitely long tilted porous layer saturated with liquid. Fig. 1 shows a layer infinite along the z -axis and x -axis, which can be tilted by an angle α relative to the vertical (vector γ ). The effect of gravity is taken into account. The layer boundaries perpendicular to the y -axis are solid and perfectly conductive. The temperature distribution at these boundaries corresponds to a strictly constant vertical temperature gradient.

Figure 1: Geometry of the problem

To describe thermal convection in a porous layer saturated with liquid, the Darcy-Boussinesq model will be used [20]:

−∇P−ρlvKv+ρlgβTγ=0

(ρcp)s∂T∂t+(ρcp)lv∇T=κsΔT (1)

div v=0

Here v is the velocity of convective filtration in a porous medium; T is the temperature deviation from the average constant temperature taken as the reference point; P is the deviation of pressure from hydrostatic pressure corresponding to the average constant temperature; K is the permeability coefficient of the medium; κs is the effective thermal conductivity of a porous medium saturated with liquid; γ is a unit vector directed vertically upward. The remaining designations are conditional. Values indicated by the subscript «  l  » refer to liquid, and the subscript «  s  » refers to porous media.

At the boundaries of the layer, impermeability conditions and a temperature distribution corresponding to a strictly vertical temperature gradient are set: vn=0 , T=−A(z−z0)(γ⋅ez)=−A(z−z0) cosα.

The problem formulated above admits a solution corresponding to the conductive state:

v0=0,  ∇T0=−Aγ,  ∇P0=ρlgβT0γ (2)

Introduce the values h as the scales of length, h2(ρcp)s/κs as the scales of time, (gβAKχv−1)1/2 as the scales of velocity, Ah as the scales of temperature, (gβAh2K−1χvρl2)1/2 as the scales of pressure. Here χ=κs/(ρcp)l . Thus, the obtained dimensionless equations:

−∇P−v+CTγ=0

∂T∂t+Cv∇T=ΔT (3)

div v=0

Here, C2≡gβAh2K/(vχ)=Ra , Ra is the Rayleigh number.

3  Reducing a Three-Dimensional Problem Statement to a Two-Dimensional One

Fig. 2 shows a cell of an infinitely extended layer, in which the structure of the convective flows that we are considering is schematically shown. We consider convective rolls whose axes are perpendicular to the axis relative to which the layer is tilted (longitudinal rolls).

Figure 2: Schematic structure of flow in a cell of an infinitely extended layer

Let us consider nonlinear convection regimes in a region representing a cross-section of a cell of an infinitely extended layer (Fig. 3).

Figure 3: Cell of an infinitely extended layer (I–section under investigation; II and IV–infinitely extended boundaries; III and V–periodic boundaries; boundaries parallel to the xz plane are solid, perfectly conductive, and the temperature profile on them has the form of a vertical gradient)

Let us rewrite Eq. (3), highlighting the part in temperature corresponding to the vertical temperature gradient T=T0+T′ and using the equilibrium equations:

−∇P′−v+CT′γ=0 (4)

∂T′∂t+Cv∇T′−Cvγ=ΔT′ (5)

div v=0 (6)

The boundary conditions have the form:

T′=0,   vn=0

Applying the rotzrot operation to Eq. (4), we obtain:

Δvz=C cosα ΔT′ (7)

and applying the rotz operation to Eq. (4), we obtain:

ΔΨ=−C sinα ∂T′∂y,     vx=∂Ψ∂y, vy=−∂Ψ∂x (8)

Taking into account (8), the energy Eq. (5) is rewritten as:

∂T′∂t+C(∂Ψ∂y∂T′∂x−∂Ψ∂x∂T′∂y)−C(∂Ψ∂y(−sinα)+vzcosα)=ΔT′ (9)

As was shown in [19], the most dangerous in this problem at any layer tilt angle are longitudinal disturbances ( a=kz/k=0 ). For these perturbations vz can be found explicitly. Let us apply the roty operation to Eq. (4):

∂vx∂z−∂vz∂x=−C cosα∂T′∂x−C sinα∂T′∂z (10)

For ∂∂z=0, we have:

∂vz∂x=C cosα∂T′∂x (11)

Now apply the rotx operation to Eq. (4):

∂vz∂y−∂vy∂z=C cosα∂T′∂y (12)

For ∂∂z=0 , we have:

∂vz∂y=C cosα∂T′∂y (13)

Eqs. (11) and (13) have a joint solution:

vz=C cosα T′+f(t) (14)

The function f(t) is determined from the condition of the absence of total fluid flow in the direction of the z axis:

∫−11⁡⟨vz⟩ydx=0,   ⟨vz⟩y≡limL→∞⁡(12L∫−LL⁡vzdy) (15)

f(t)=−12∫−11⁡⟨C cosα T′⟩ydx,   ⟨C cosα T′⟩y≡limL→∞⁡(12L∫−LL⁡C cosα T′dy) (16)

vz=C cosα(T′−12∫−11⁡⟨T′⟩ydx) (17)

Thus, the boundary conditions have the form:

y=±1:   Ψ=0, T′=0

and periodicity conditions at the lateral boundaries.

The transformation we propose allows us to reduce a three-dimensional problem to a two-dimensional one and obtain an analytical expression for the z-component of velocity. This significantly simplifies the problem and allows for a comprehensive numerical study of the behavior of the system for various parameters.

4  Nonlinear Three-Dimensional Convective Regimes

To solve the problem (8), (9), (17), the finite difference method was used. An explicit scheme of second order accuracy in spatial variables was used. The grid was used with square cells and a spatial step of 1/30. Table 1 presents data from a grid sensitivity study. As can be seen from the table, the grid resolution used in the calculations makes it possible to calculate the critical Rayleigh number with high accuracy and is sufficient for modeling the flow structures that are realized in this problem for the studied system parameters. The main calculations were carried out for a cavity with an aspect ratio of 6 × 1 ( xy ). Accordingly, the number of grid nodes was 180 × 30 ( xy ). At the lateral boundaries ( x=1 , x=180 ), periodicity conditions were used. The upper and lower boundaries ( y=1 , y=30 ) were considered solid ( Ψ=0 ) and perfectly conductive ( T′=0 ). The no-slip condition was not used.

Fig. 4 shows the dependence of the critical Ra on the layer tilt angle, obtained as a result of nonlinear calculations in this work, and a comparison of these results with the linear theory [19]. To find the convection threshold for each value of the tilt angle α , the value of the maximum modulus of the stream function Max|Ψ| was found at several Rayleigh numbers close to the threshold. Further, the found dependence Max|Ψ| from the Rayleigh number was extrapolated to the zero value Max|Ψ| under the assumption that this dependence is a square root law. This suggests that convection in the system occurs through direct bifurcation. Looking ahead, we can say that this actually occurs for all layer tilt angles. As can be seen from Fig. 4, as a result of nonlinear calculations, values of the Ra were obtained that were close to the values obtained from the linear stability theory [19] for all layer tilt angles.

Figure 4: Dependence of the critical Rayleigh number on the layer tilt angle (dashed curve–linear theory, solid curve–data of nonlinear calculations)

Figs. 5 and 6 show the dependences of the integral characteristics of the flow Max|Ψ| and Max|vz| on the Ra at α=40∘ . Up to supercriticality of about 15%–20%, this dependencies correspond to the root law (dashed curve), therefore direct bifurcation takes place. At other layer tilt angles, a similar dependence is observed.

Figure 5: Dependency Max|Ψ| on the Rayleigh number at α=40∘

Figure 6: Dependency Max|vz| on the Rayleigh number at α=40∘

Fig. 7 shows the dependence of the wave number on the layer tilt angle, found as a result of linear calculations (solid curve). In nonlinear calculations, when using periodic conditions on the lateral boundaries, it is possible to implement convective modes only with an integer number of wavelengths, i.e., an even number of vortices. As calculations have shown, at layer tilt angles α<53∘ a 2-vortex structure is realized (the maximum wavelength possible for periodic boundary conditions), at α>53∘ there is a transition to a 4-vortex regime, at α>66∘ a transition to 6-vortex regime. Thus, the number of vortices realized in nonlinear calculations corresponds to the linear theory.

Figure 7: Dependence of the critical wave number on the layer tilt angle (solid curve–linear theory for an infinitely extended cavity, dots–data from nonlinear calculations)

Figs. 8–10 show the fields of the stream function Ψ , the fields of the velocity components vz (in projection onto the xy plane) and the temperature fields for various layer tilt angles at small supercriticalities. For convenience, the y -axis length range will take values [0;2] instead of [−1;1] . As can be seen, there is a fairly strong flow along the z -axis. The structure of the velocity field also corresponds to that predicted in [19].

Figure 8: Fields of Ψ (top), vz (middle) and T (bottom) for α=30∘, Ra=3.80 ( xy projection)

Figure 9: Fields of Ψ (top), vz (middle) and T (bottom) for α=60∘, Ra=7.84 ( xy projection)

Figure 10: Fields of Ψ (top), vz (middle) and T (bottom) for α=85∘, Ra=10.24 ( xy projection)

The fields of the temperature components T′ are similar to the fields of the velocity component vz , differing mainly in quantitative values. The total temperature field T=T0+T′ also includes a temperature component corresponding to the equilibrium vertical temperature gradient T0 . Specific values of the vertical temperature gradient T0 depend on the value of the Rayleigh number, the layer tilt angle and the system parameters included in the Rayleigh number. Further, to visualize temperature fields, system parameters typical for rocks saturated with hydrocarbons will be used.

As can be seen from Figs. 8–10, with increasing layer tilt angle, the temperature gradient increases, and the influence of convective flows on the temperature distribution in the section under consideration weakens.

Calculations were also carried out for a cavity with an aspect ratio of 10 × 1 and also using solid impermeable thermally insulated side boundaries. Fig. 11 shows the fields of the stream function Ψ and the velocity components vz for the layer tilt angle α=30∘ in a cavity with an aspect ratio of 10 × 1 using periodic boundary conditions. As can be seen, as with the aspect ratio 6 × 1, 2-vortex convection is realized, which corresponds to the maximum possible wavelength.

Figure 11: Fields of Ψ (top), vz (middle) and T (bottom) for α=30∘, Ra=3.80 ( xy projection, 10 × 1 area, periodic boundaries)

For a cavity with solid lateral boundaries, the maximum wavelength of disturbances should correspond to one vortex for the entire cavity. As can be seen from Fig. 12, under such boundary conditions, most of the cavity is actually occupied by one vortex, but along with it, small side vortices are realized at the side boundaries, the direction of rotation of which is opposite to the direction of rotation of the main vortex.

Figure 12: Fields of Ψ (top), vz (middle) and T (bottom) for α=30∘, Ra=4.00 ( xy projection, 6 × 1 area, solid boundaries)

At layer tilt angles corresponding to multicellular convection, no side vortices are formed at the layer boundaries and the realized number of vortices corresponds to the linear theory. In particular, Fig. 13 shows the fields of the stream function Ψ and the velocity components vz for the layer tilt angle α=60∘ in a cavity with an aspect ratio of 10 × 1 and solid lateral boundaries.

Figure 13: Fields of Ψ (top), vz (middle) and T (bottom) for α=60∘, Ra=7.84 ( xy projection, 10 × 1 area, solid boundaries)

In calculations for various layer tilt angles at high supercriticalities, no transitions to other convective regimes were revealed, in addition to the main one predicted by the linear theory. However, with increasing supercriticality, the shape of the convective rolls may be somewhat distorted. The relative dimensions of the rolls may also change (Fig. 14). The higher the α , the higher the supercriticality, at which convective rolls begin to distort (the main mode is more stable).

5  Conclusion

1)   The onset and development of longwave and multicellular longitudinal convection rolls in a tilted porous layer saturated with liquid under a strictly vertical temperature gradient have been studied numerically.

2)   The three-dimensional problem is reduced to two-dimensional one with analytical expression for z-component of the velocity vz=vz(x,y) which substantially simplifies the problem and makes possible a comprehensive numerical investigation for any layer tilt angles in a wide range of supercriticalities.

3)   The number of rolls (wave number) realized in nonlinear calculations corresponds to the linear theory [19].

4)   The values of the critical Rayleigh number obtained in nonlinear calculations for different layer tilt angles correspond with good accuracy to the values predicted by linear theory [19].

5)   As a result of nonlinear calculations, the structure of the velocity field vz and its evolution with increasing supercriticality were studied. In particular, the existence of a non-zero fluid flow velocity along the z -axis, predicted in [19], was confirmed. The resulting structure of the velocity field vz suggests that the trajectories of liquid particles within each convective roll are not just circles, but ellipses with a normal perpendicular to the gravity vector and tilted at a certain angle relative to the xz plane. As supercriticality increases, this angle increases.

6)   Calculations carried out at low supercriticalities showed that at all layer tilt angles, direct bifurcation takes place.

7)   No transitions to other convective regimes with increasing supercriticality were found.
