In-situ combustion (ISC) has long been recognized as a promising technique for heavy oil
recovery. However, ISC includes multiple physicochemical processes, which are still poorly …

In-situ combustion (ISC) for heavy oil recovery is a high-risk process and thus calls for a
deep understanding of the coke combustion front. However, simulations for describing pore …

A stable combustion front is important to achieve a successful in-situ combustion process for
the crude oil recovery. The understanding of the multiple physicochemical and thermal …

Flows with chemical reactions in porous media are fundamental phenomena encountered in
many natural, industrial, and scientific areas. For such flows, most existing studies use …

We conducted lattice Boltzmann simulations to investigate the efficiency of various
immiscible CO2 injection modes in enhancing oil recovery and CO2 sequestration during …

Understanding the micro-catalytic porous combustion mechanisms is vital importance in
improving the energy conversion efficiency of a combustion process. However, the …

Char-pellet combustion is studied with the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) including sodium
release and the ash inhibition effect on oxygen diffusion in the porous char. The sodium …

Oil/water saturations vary significantly among different oil reservoirs, which, in combination
with pore structure, determines the oil and water distribution in pores. As an initial condition …

ABSTRACT A hybrid numerical model previously developed for combustion simulations is
extended in this article to describe flame propagation and stabilization in porous media. The …

Coke deposition during crude oil in-situ combustion (ISC) is an important phenomenon that
significantly impacts the pore topology and permeability. In this study, X-ray computed …
