    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.21, No.8, pp. 1935-1954, 2025, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2025.066730 - 12 September 2025

    Abstract Shale gas production involves complex gas-water two-phase flow, with flow patterns in proppant-filled fractures playing a critical role in determining production efficiency. In this study, 3D geometric models of 40/70 mesh ceramic particles and quartz sand proppant clusters were elaborated using computed tomography (CT) scanning. These models were used to develop a numerical simulation framework based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), enabling the investigation of gas-water flow behavior within proppant-filled fractures under varying driving forces and surface tensions. Simulation results at a closure pressure of 15 MPa have revealed that ceramic particles exhibit a More >

    Simulation of Gas-Water Two-Phase Flow in Tight Gas Reservoirs Considering the Gas Slip Effect

    Mingjing Lu1,2,*, Zenglin Wang1,3, Aishan Li1, Liaoyuan Zhang1, Bintao Zheng1, Zilin Zhang1

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.5, pp. 1269-1281, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.023188 - 30 November 2022

    Abstract A mathematical model for the gas-water two-phase flow in tight gas reservoirs is elaborated. The model can account for the gas slip effect, stress sensitivity, and high-speed non-Darcy factors. The related equations are solved in the framework of a finite element method. The results are validated against those obtained by using the commercial software CMG (Computer Modeling Group software for advanced recovery process simulation). It is shown that the proposed method is reliable. It can capture the fracture rejection characteristics of tight gas reservoirs better than the CMG. A sensitivity analysis of various control factors More >
