COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) RESEARCH

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the application of numerical techniques for simulating problems related to fluids flowing through a domain.  Such a methodology can be applied in pore-scale modeling. Over the years, we have employed CFD modeling techniques for simulating two-phase flow through large networks. Additionally, we have developed a methodology for investigating the interaction between multiphase fluids and non-linear deforming solid materials in the presence of varying hydrodynamic, chemical, and mechanical conditions by utilizing finite-volume and finite element methods. The computational geometry for carrying out such extensive simulations is obtained by X-ray micro-computational Tomography. We then apply digital rock physics to characterize the effective macroscale properties of the reconstructed 3D rock image. We also compute the effective properties for a geometry having double porosity.
