基于颗粒-渗流耦合计算的多孔介质渗蚀过程模拟

    Simulation of seepage erosion process in porous media based on particle-seepage coupling

    • 摘要: 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,并推导了饱和状态下颗粒-渗流控制方程,然后通过微流控试验数据对模型细观参数进行标定与校核,最后模拟了圆柱形饱和多孔介质中颗粒迁移过程,分析了颗粒间引力对迁移过程的影响。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颗粒团聚,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引力作用影响,考虑颗粒间引力作用时,大量细颗粒被骨架捕获而产生堵塞,多孔介质渗透率逐渐减小但最终趋于稳定;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: This study investigates the mechanisms of fines migration and deposition in porous media by using a particle-seepage coupling method. A cylindrical porous media model is constructed by PFC3D, and a seepage program is developed in Python to achieve two-way fluid-solid coupling. The particle flow governing equation under saturation state is derived, and the microscopic parameters of the model are calibrated and verified through microfluidic experimental data. The particle migration process in cylindrical saturated porous media is simulated, and the impact of interparticle adhesion on the migration process is analyzed. In the simulations, the JKR contact model is employed in the simulations to characterize the interparticle forces. The results indicate that when considering interparticle forces, aggregates are easily formed, leading to more adsorption and deposition of fines on the surface of porous media. Arching structures due to particle accumulation appear in the pores, resulting in significant pore clogging. The evolution of permeability is affected by interparticle forces. A large number of fines are captured by solid skeleton, resulting in pore clogging and the permeability curve decreases and eventually tends to stabilize. Finally, the particle distribution inside the model exhibits spatial heterogeneity: a barrier layer is formed in the middle region (L2) of the model, while stable clogging occurs in the bottom region (L3) when interparticle attractive forces are considered. In contrast, models considering only linear contact show a dynamic equilibrium of particle entry and exit.
