Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of soil and groundwater pollution remediation, and in particular relates to a method for calculating the oil-water interfacial area and mass transfer coefficient of two-phase flow in porous media. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of oil and gas extraction, geological storage of carbon dioxide, and remediation of soil and groundwater pollution, the two-phase flow process of porous media is widely involved. In oil and gas extraction, the accurate identification of the phase structure and oil-water interface area of ​​two-phase flow can promote the understanding of the two-phase flow structure; in geological storage of carbon dioxide, the accurate calculation of the interface area between supercritical carbon dioxide and brine can promote the understanding of its mechanism and improve the storage efficiency; in the remediation process of non-aqueous liquid pollution of soil and groundwater, the accurate identification of the oil-water interface of porous media and the calculation of the mass transfer coefficient can analyze the microscopic remediation mechanism and improve the remediation effect. Therefore, the accurate calculation of the oil-water interface area and the mass transfer coefficient is an important prerequisite for understanding the two-phase flow mechanism and improving the efficiency of related projects.

[0003] In previous studies, many methods have been used to calculate the oil-water interfacial area and mass transfer coefficient in two-phase flow. First, through sand box-type "black box" experiments, scholars can calculate the lumped mass transfer rate coefficient, but cannot directly observe the internal structure of the medium and thus determine the two-phase interfacial area. Secondly, the multiphase interface can be accurately identified through CT scanning technology, but the long scanning cycle brings large errors to the calculation of the two-phase mass transfer coefficient. In addition, the transparent glass column experiment based on laser confocal microscopy can accurately identify the multiphase interface and calculate the mass transfer coefficient, but its cost is too high. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a method for calculating the oil-water interfacial area and mass transfer coefficient of two-phase flow in porous media with low cost, fast scanning, high accuracy and rapid calculation.
