基于颗粒-渗流耦合计算的多孔介质渗蚀过程模拟

    Simulation of the Erosion Process in Porous Media Based on Particle-Seepage Coupling

    • 摘要: 本研究基于颗粒-渗流耦合方法探究多孔介质中细颗粒迁移沉积机理。通过PFC3D构建圆柱形多孔介质模型,结合Python编写渗流程序实现双向流固耦合,并推导饱和状态下颗粒-渗流控制方程。通过微流控试验数据对模型细观参数进行标定与校核。计算中采用JKR接触模型表征颗粒间引力作用,结果表明:考虑颗粒间相互作用的模型孔隙内易形成团聚体,导致细颗粒在多孔介质表面吸附增强,孔道中出现颗粒堆积拱形结构,显著提升堵塞概率。渗透率演化受颗粒间相互作用影响,考虑颗粒间相互作用时,多孔介质渗透率曲线最终趋于稳定;模型内部颗粒分布呈现出空间异质性,模型中层区域(L2)形成阻挡层,而模型底层区域(L3)在考虑颗粒作用时出现稳定堵塞,未考虑颗粒作用的模型则呈现迁入/迁出动态平衡。

       

      Abstract: In response to the migration, deposition, and blockage of particles in porous media, this paper explores the microscopic mechanisms of fine particle migration and deposition based on the particle - seepage coupling coupled numerical method. PFC3D is used to construct porous media samples, and a flow program is written in Python to achieve bidirectional coupling between particles and fluids. This article derives the governing equations for particles and fluid phases in a saturated state, and verifies the mechanical parameters of the microscale model by comparing microfluidic experimental data. Using the JKR contact model to consider the gravitational interaction between fine particles, a numerical simulation was conducted on a cylindrical porous medium model. The results showed that considering the interaction between particles, there was a large agglomeration in the pores of the model, and fine particles were easily adsorbed on the surface of the porous medium, making the model more prone to blockage. Additionally, a particle stacking arch structure appeared in the pores of the porous medium; In addition, considering the influence of the type of JKR contact bond formed on the permeability changes within the interparticle interaction model, and the permeability curve eventually tends towards a flat stage; Finally,the internal particle mass distribution within the model exhibits spatial heterogeneity. The middle layer region (L2) of the model forms a blocking layer, while the bottom region (L3) demonstrates steady-state clogging when considering particle interactions. In contrast, models disregarding particle interactions manifest dynamic immigration/emigration equilibrium.
